Matteo Magnabosco is a freelance architect with a studio in Turin.

He deals with planning and interior design. He specialises in the residential sector, optimising spaces and transforming them into unique, personalised environments. Particularly attentive to details, he experiments with new materials and designs unique pieces that characterise his projects. The collaboration with professionals and craftsmen allows him to offer a complete and multidisciplinary service, from the research of the property to the details of the finishes.

In the project I developed it was essential to find the right balance between contemporary elements and elements linked to the past. The presence of cement tiles on the floor, the kitchen with separate working blocks with an aluminium structure and suspended on feet had to find a natural completion in a tile covering that recalled the past but with a contemporary language.

The 7.5 x 15 cm format was an essential part of my project and found its natural expression in the Tavella from the Silk series. Moreover, the glossy but not perfectly coplanar surface added the right amount of retro taste without being excessive. A solution that immediately turned out to be perfect for my project, without giving up anything in terms of the overall effect I wanted to achieve for the kitchen.

I chose Pergamena colour because it is particularly suitable in the range of shades present, from the kitchen doors in milk-coloured milleraies to the metal enamelling of the chairs, with their decidedly warmer and more intense tone. The Pergamena colour represents the right tone to complete the project in a harmonious and balanced way.
