Shelf Life

Glorious, but I'm reminded of the spaces shown in "Tokyo Style" after he keeps collecting and collecting... shelf space has a habit of running out. I hope he's got dozens more empty shelves hidden behind panels.

Great to see the "before", "during" and "after" photos. And a great reminder that we don't HAVE to have lots of space...

cool :)

What happened to those gorgeous moldings and wainscot?! I hope they were salvaged. Otherwise, very cool remodel.

And painting the original wood floors black?! This is too painful..

The design resonates very well with the dweller's character. There is a strong sense of solitary living in the starkness of white. Even without me knowing that this is an apartment with a single resident, the stretches of white walls draw the eye horizontally giving it a cavernous aura. But the calculated shelving placement around the walls breaks the essense of vacancy and the orange accent is an in-your-face persistence of his personality.

What brand is the sofa he's sitting on?

HMS: It's the Arild sofa from IKEA.

How does a 28 year old afford a 400K$ apartment and have an extra 100K$ for remodeling? Thanks for showing us what 0.0002% of the population can do.

Yes - Randor has it right. Seeing how people design places for their stuff is interesting, but we may as well be watching reruns of 'Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous.' This piece isn't really about design - it's more an overt interest in the lives of the wealthy. This quote betrays all "Vinciguerra washes down a midweek lunch at home with a glass of white burgundy."

Uh, most people in France have wine with lunch. And French wine is really cheap, especially in France, compared to California wine.

Really great ! Smart way of modeling space with simple elements. I agree with the idea of inaccessible... Anyway it's quiet a 'tour de force' to acheive such a project with these kind of budget !

Yes, painting the wood floors black. Ouch. This guy is ruthless.

Does anyone know the brand and name of the table lamp in the picture no. 12?
