THE OWNERS

Alejandro Restrepo Perez, architect and art director, and Davide Colzi, fashion and interior designer. They are co-founders of ARPconcept, which provides interior design, architecture, art direction and event management for leading fashion brands.

THE PROPERTY

A 1970s apartment in Milan. There is a double living room with a dining area, a kitchen, a master suite and a guest bedroom suite, plus two terraces and a balcony.

milan-based designers Alejandro Restrepo Perez and Davide Colzi can be counted on to put on a good show. They helped Chanel create its legendary La Passeggiata and Little Black Jacket events and their client list also includes Louboutin, Jimmy Choo and Etro. Their job is to turn a blank space into something spectacular, be it a fashion show, a window display or an event. But, for the couple, their role goes deeper than impressing the front row fashion editors. ‘Yes, we are architects, but we don’t only construct spaces,’ says Davide. ‘It’s more about creating a personality and a sense of soul.’

RAISE THE BAR

A custom bar area helps to set the tone and atmosphere when entertaining by allowing guests to congregate in one area and connect with each other. In this project designed by US design studio Alana Marie Interiors, the custom walnut bar also doubles as a privacy screen, helping to zone the space in a practical and elegant way. The slatted panels create beautiful storage nooks for glassware and bar accessories, demonstrating how form and function can be seamlessly integrated.
