How high-end tailored design products are participating in the Milanese Renaissance

High-end residential interior design is increasingly important in a rapidly evolving city like Milan. Known to be a discreet, demure city where true richness lies hidden in private historical buildings and their astonishing secluded gardens, Italy’s industrial capital is becoming increasingly cosmopolitan today. This transformation is thanks in part to a regenerative urban and architectural process that has transformed the city center and various parts of once-neglected neighborhoods. A prime example is the Isola district and its famous Bosco Verticale, Stefano Boeri’s iconic “green” building that became the symbol of the transformative identity of an entire section of Milan.

Luxury interiors demand a customized approach

From a design perspective, these evolutionary new settings in the city call for a different approach to interior design. Luxury homes, suites, and hotels are, by nature, the perfect environments for Italian furniture design companies, which have always been dedicated to customizing their products to fulfill designers’ and their client’s desires. Lualdi is one of these quintessentially Italian brands. The family-owned company manufactures interior doors, partition systems, and boiseries, products that must deeply integrate with the ongoing process of creating interiors.

Lualdi’s commitment to personalization is a founding value for the brand

Lualdi notes that its products rarely remain as mere catalog references due to the constant demand for tailoring each solution to meet interior designers’ requirements. “Lualdi stands out for its ability to integrate into highly customized interior projects, thanks to a constant and fruitful dialogue with architects and designers. This synergy allows the company to respond to the most sophisticated needs with tailor-made solutions, which blend perfectly with the aesthetics and functionality of each environment and enhance design excellence.“

Lualdi collaborates on the Bosco Verticale duplex interiors project

Excellence is the word that best describes the expectations of new Milanese high-end buildings and apartments that are a symbol of the city’s contemporary renaissance. Within the Bosco Verticale, Lualdi collaborated on the creation of a luxurious duplex designed by Coima Image Studio. As you move through the apartment, each passageway becomes a deliberate design statement. The bedrooms open through Rasoline 55s doors with a dove-gray matte finish. Black matte aluminum handles and profiles catch the light enhancing the architectural scenery.

The master suite holds the main role in the whole narrative project. The L7 Pivot and concealed sliding doors play with transparency and light, their gray glass panels creating an almost ethereal transition between spaces. The walk-in closet, bathroom, and shower areas flow seamlessly into one another, their boundaries defined by these sophisticated glass partitions. Each black aluminium detail adds a brushstroke of modernity to this carefully composed canvas, where every element contributes to a story of contemporary luxury living among the clouds of Milan’s most iconic residential tower.

Hospitality: Milan as a new venue for cosmopolitan visitors

Just a few steps from the Duomo Cathedral AF Duomo – Milano Luxury Suites is one of many newborn hospitality concepts of the city. The interior design studio closely collaborated with Lualdi to create a merger of bespoke design. Tasked with outfitting each suite, Lualdi’s team seamlessly integrated their products throughout the four residences. 

From the commanding entrance doors to the private en-suites, every threshold announces the tale of an Italian design experience. In the master bedrooms, the Sliding 50 double-leaf door in a rich Canaletto walnut Matrix finish sets an elegant tone, while the bronze-hued L7 pocket sliding door in the bathroom exudes a warm, contemporary allure. Lualdi’s contributions extend beyond the individual suites as the Avenue boiserie unifies the spaces with corridors and entryway closets in a soft ivory lacquer. The Compass 55 pivoting door heralds the entry to one of the luxurious abodes.

A high-end private residence calls for a sophisticated rhythm in the separation of spaces

A sumptuous private residence spanning three levels connected by a monumental spiral staircase. The guiding principle for the project of this home is the personalization of every space: precious materials and bespoke design elements provide adequate allure while remaining deeply rooted in highly personal stylistic codes, reinterpreted by the interior designers’ work.

Lualdi’s manufactured custom finishes, from the door and surface coverings to the handles. At the entrance and on the first-floor landing, the Wall&Door system with an integrated swing door features a brushed brass finish. In the bedroom, a pocket L41 sliding door seamlessly blends with the fabric-clad walls on one side, while featuring a mirror finish on the other. 

This same technique is replicated on the second floor, where the Compassline system marks the kitchen entrance with a bronze sheet metal door and a recessed custom handle while characterizing the dining room with a mirrored surface.

Muted tones and textile covered walls

The living and dining areas are defined by muted colors that permeate both the furnishings and the fabric-clad walls, into which a curved Wall&Door system – equipped as a bar cabinet – is seamlessly integrated. The pastel tones are punctuated by details of Thermowood oak and green marble, seen on the Compassline and Rasoline 55s doors leading to the living spaces. These same finishes are echoed on the top floor, where the Wall&Door system once again takes center stage, this time characterizing the entrance to the home cinema.
