A studiolo was a small private cabinet in Italian Renaissance palaces for the study of subjects related to art and science. And that is the setting that has been recreated from the Of Possible studio for the annexed guest space of the owner of the popular art gallery Splendid Peasant.in New York City Manhattan. An itinerant collection of furniture and objects from the gallery itself, specialized in American popular art, has been integrated into a 93-square-meter space, along with sculptures by artists Shana and Robert ParkeHarrison. The authors chose heat-treated black granite as the primary material, both for the kitchen countertop and for the tabletop, flooring and shower lining. Its leather-textured surface captures shadows and reflects light, presenting various effects throughout the day. Much of the furniture, such as the  daybed, the coffee table and the dining room have wheels to reconfigure the space at will according to the changing decoration.

Mid Century Australian

The Mim Design studio has banished the darkness that this Mid-Century style house in Melbourne (Australia) had and thanks to the large windows and an open floor plan it has allowed natural light to fill all its spaces. The original home, designed by architect Harry Ernest in 1964, caught the attention of publisher David S. Miller and his wife, who lived within walking distance.

After a careful renovation, the residence shines with its own light.
