When seeing the picture above on Instagram, I had find out more about Bocci, and especially this apartment. Bocci is a design and manufacturing studio based in Vancouver, Canada. They have a fully furnished apartment in Milan and I was happy to visit when I was in Milan for Milan Design week. During my design trips I have seen a lot of apartments, from minimal to over the top decorated or stylish mid century.
Now this apartment was something else! The apartment showroom is situated in an early twentieth-century building in Zona Vincenzo Monti and acts as a European hub for Bocci’s transnational community of people, ideas, and objects. The owner of Boci stays in the apartment when in Milan and therefore it has the look and feel of a real apartment instead of a showroom. And if you are in Milan and want to see the most dreamy bedroom or bathroom lights, please make an appointment to visit!
Although my own style is more sturdy I really loved it all. And that is the great thing about Design week, you come in places you normally would not visit and see products out of your comfort zone but really interesting because of how they are manufactured. Please visit the Bocci website for more details about the apartment and their collection.
