MÉTAPHORES X ATELIER PENDHAPA
Atelier Pendhapa x MÉTAPHORES
Milano Design Week 2024
Via Tommaso Salvini, 2, 20122 Milano
As part of Milano Design Week 2024, the private flat of Pendhapa Architects founder Antonin Hautefort was unveiled to visitors, offering a unique insight into the studio’s innovative projects in architecture, interior design and furniture.
Nestled on the first floor of the Palazzo Della Società, designed by renowned Milanese architect Pietro Portaluppi, known for his contribution to the illustrious Villa Necchi, the flat was created with the utmost care by Pendhapa Architects.
In partnership with Métaphores, a publisher of innovative and resolutely modern furnishing fabrics, a real synergy has emerged, motivated by a shared vision of interior design and the desire to transcend traditional decorative standards and elevate fabric to the status of an architectural element. Thanks to a meticulous attention to textures, contrasts and colours, a fascinating dialogue is established with the urban landscape, echoing the dynamism and graphic motifs of Milan’s architectural lexicon, imbued with a sunny ambience.
The exhibition featured unique editions, available exclusively from Invisible Collection.
An ideal moment to slip into a global architectural experience.
