A direct and eclectic dreamer: her mind and soul are a combination of the flavors and colors of the world’s South – known, loved and lived – together with the tastes and forms of the West, rich in tradition, open and constantly moving. This all generates her tireless curiosity in her studies of subjects and materials, forms and structures. In her research into the present, the past and the future.

Blue Home
Mostra Unlimited 3ª edição
In this “aquarium house”, to be lived in with the lightness and freedom of a weekend, inspirations and craft traditions from distant worlds coexist harmoniously. In a nest home, feeling at ease is a precedent for engendering a special affinity with things, which in this case tend to be tinged by infinite shades of blue.
The bright atmosphere is surrounded by the author’s natural attraction to cool colors that, through skillful composition, ironically convey warmth and coziness. Blue Home is a relaxing and hypnotic dive into the Mediterranean Sea landscape. The blue that envelops the world around.
Through a special alchemy, the inner garden at the center of the project, received by the minimalist Ms. Barcelona surface, dictates the rhythm at which the other environments develop, which, although integrated, are separated by the sheer size of the space. Paola Navone skillfully brings together different prints and designs, and a surprising harmony is born from the unexpected contrast. Like a skilled hostess, she brings different guests together for good dialog.
In irregular shapes reminiscent of small candies, Bonbon White creates a unique mosaic across the Blue Home floor, while Vedononvedo covers side partitions, giving the mirror new meaning by inserting abstract elements on the surface. The Shibori line, displayed in large blue panels on the walls, highlights different designs using the Japanese manual technique of dyeing fabric. The furniture, also developed by the Italian creator, uses Bianco di Lucca and Oh!Take Mountain on the countertops.
Blue Home: a cheerful and light residence where traditional materials become surprising, friendly elements that can be interpreted in many ways.
