The Cocktail Room by Elicyon

The cocktail room of L’Appartamento was designed by Elicyon as a contemporary interpretation of a classical concept, drawing inspiration from old manor houses, where it was common to find an antechamber preceding the main dining room with marble basins filled with ice to chill Champagne. This idea was integrated into the design narrative, with a surprising mix of materials, and emphasis on textural depth and softness to create a sensorial atmosphere. The concept takes inspiration from the residence itself, where the walls undoubtedly have witnessed manycocktail parties over the years. Elicyon’s design approach aims to infuse some of that original spirit and excitement into the ambiance.

Charu Gandhi’s goal was to provide visitors with an immersive journey of discovery, accentuating the grandeur of the building while paying homage to its illustrious past and celebrating Italian craftsmanship. The result is a soulful yet vibrant interior that resonates with the authenticity and heritage of the setting.This rich history influenced the selection of pieces from the Artemest collection, which feature links to both the early and mid-20th century, with contemporary twists and accents, aiming to evoke a sense of evolution and progression, rather than presenting a jarring clash of new furnishings in a period setting. Elicyon’semphasis on textural depth and softness plays a key role in creating a cocooned and sensorial atmosphere. The deep, enveloping textures of the armchair upholstery and a wraparound sofa not only evoke a sense of cosiness, but on a practical level aid the acoustics of the space. Rugs are suspended on the walls, against a backdrop of hand painted wallpaper to further enhance the softness of the space, adding to the layering of the room.
