VICENZA – IT

In my projects, I always try to respond to two of the main human needs: the aesthetic sense – or the search for harmonious beauty – and practicality, meant as the simplification of everyday life for those who live in these places”. This is the modus operandi of Carlo Beltramelli, of Beltramelli Interior Design Studio, who dealt with the reconversion and renovation project of the former Lima industrial site (Italian Metal Processing and Related Products), the famous toy train factory founded in Vicenza in 1946.

An important intervention, which was able to preserve the historical memory of the place and celebrate its industrial past, full of meaning and collective memory, of emotions and amazement that belong to everyone’s imagination, that of the positive vibrations that come when you think back to childhood and the desire to receive a toy train as a gift, to play and adventure.

Various ideas translated into design metaphors: the apartment is divided into seven thematic “stations”, each with its own meaning, which reflects an aspect of the client’s life. Each station reflects the
modern concept of living space, where functions integrate rather than remain separate.

The kitchen and banquet area are interpreted as the epicenter of food well-being and living well. The living area is sociality, relationships, up to the gym integrated into the living area. The use of semi-transparent dividers and slightly raised areas allows maintaining visual separation, without interrupting the continuity of the space. Original structural elements such as exposed beams and large windows reflect the building’s past.

The attentive selection of colours, furnishings and materials conveys an atmosphere of subtle and measured luxury, as in the bathrooms of the sleeping area where the use of Ritmonio solutions is not just an aesthetic choice, but a deliberate expression of personality

A perfect example of how Diametro35, in the Black finish and stainless steel configurations, fits harmoniously into this frame, enhancing the industrial style with an elegant and modern touch: clean and minimalist lines, which create a sophisticated, refined and trendy look.
A stylistic imprint, the one of Ritmonio, which allows maximum customization and brings a real touch of style to bathroom environments.
