Designed by Studio Flétta for Fólk Reykjavík, the Airbag is a cushy pouf made almost entirely from recycled materials. The body of each piece is made of an airbag salvaged from a scrapped car, and the cushioning is made of leftover Polartec Power Fill from 66°North and mattress foam from AnnTex.

In the living room, the chaise and sofa were customly designed by the Bells’ studio.

The gray marble backsplash and worktops in the kitchen echo the natural beauty of the timberwork by Madera, adding another layer of interest to the material palette.

The primary bed features an inset upholstered headboard and floating nightstands within a paneled wall. The timberwork takes cues from the wood slat and panel language throughout the house, while limewashed walls add another level of tactility to the subtle yet rich material palette.

Many of the pieces in the home are crafted by local makers in the Northeast to complement the Madera timber used throughout. The shelves in the study above the bespoke built-in desk by Madera, for example, are by Richard Watson. “I enjoy the simplicity of their design, with just a simple tapered form that adds visual interest to the divisions,” says interior designer Emily Lindberg.

The project took five months to design and was in construction for 10 months, with the interiors developed alongside the architectural scope. “Projects are more successful when conversations around use, function, flow, and shaping spaces are integrated early into materials, millwork, lighting, and furnishings,” says interior designer Emily Lindberg on the collaborative process.

A new cantilevered stair behind a batten screen was key to a more open, light-filled interior—and it offered a consistent design element that cut through the section of the home. “The wood elements really envelope you and define the space,” says architect Ian Starling.
