Once again, we find ourselves in the familiar position of being utterly charmed by a Colombe Design project. This sophisticated but relaxed approach was largely informed by the apartment’s seaside location in Sopot, on Poland’s Baltic Coast.
The dramatic foyer, thanks to Constance Guisset’s large Vertigo Pendant Light, a Colombe go-to. The black and white stool is by Fornasetti.
The view of the sitting and living rooms. For the walls, Chrapka chose a soft white achieved by mixing Farrow & Ball’s Skimming Stone and Slipper Satin.
The custom glass partition is Chrapka’s favorite part of the project.
The table is the clients’. Chrapka refurbished it by painting it Farrow & Ball’s Manor House Gray.
The antique dining chairs are the clients’ family heirlooms.
In a departure from the pale walls elsewhere in the home, the office features tropical “Alexandrie” wallpaper by Pierre Frey.
Wallpaper pops up again in the kitchen; this time, it’s “Vega” wallpaper from Elitis. The backasplash is Carrara marble.
The countertop is stained oak. The cabinet and drawer knobs are custom.
Chrapka framed some of the clients’ favorite artworks for a gallery wall.
The master bedroom, anchored by a large bed with a headboard upholstered in Villa Nova’s Geneva Washable Linen. The bamboo and linen pendant is by Ay Illuminate.
The tiled fireplace is original to the home.
Chrapka designed inset shelves on both sides of the bed alcove for storing books.
Another eBay score: the leaning towel rack.
The lighting is from Zangra.
