Casa LV: Modern Italian Apartment with Artful, Eco-Conscious Interior
Casa LV anchors an apartment in Taranto, Italy, where designer Francesco Marrone draws on a deep culture of visual arts and everyday living. The project translates modernism, local atmospheres and a taste for eccentric combinations into an interior that treats the home as both landscape and secret horizon. Here, finishes, color and light connect people, objects and rooms in a quietly experimental way that still feels grounded in domestic ritual.
Daylight drifts across smooth walls and soft textures, catching on objects chosen as much for memory as for function. A quiet threshold leads inward, where color, geometry and surface turn the apartment into a field of subtle cues.
Casa LV is an apartment in Taranto, Italy, by Francesco Marrone, configured as an interior landscape shaped by visual culture and everyday use. The project, designed in 2026, springs from the studio’s long engagement with modern and contemporary art and its ongoing research into how people inhabit rooms. Interior character grows from an intricate mix of furnishings, finishes and light, so residents map their own way of living through the rooms.
Weaving Art Into Domestic Life
Marrone’s work rests on a declared culture of visual arts, with modern and contemporary references feeding the apartment’s atmosphere. Rather than treat the rooms as neutral containers, he composes geometry and color so every element holds a clear role yet resists a fixed script. Objects, artworks and furniture bring an eccentric mix of styles and tones, encouraging residents to read the home as a living collection. Each corner feels like a pause in an ongoing visual narrative, not a static tableau.
Balancing Rigour And Softness
Within the apartment, formal clarity meets tactile comfort. Precise lines and controlled volumes set a calm framework, then velvet-like textures and soft finishes temper the rigour. This balance of opposites underpins the whole interior: controlled geometry carries the structure of daily routines, while gentle surfaces invite lingering and touch. Residents move between taut, almost graphic moments and more relaxed zones, building their own rhythm across the plan.
Color, Transparency And Everyday Objects
Casa LV leans on an “eccentric intertwining” of styles and colors in its furnishings to spark dialogue between people and things. Bold tones sit against neutral fields, and transparent elements loosen visual boundaries so rooms feel connected even when divided. Furniture and complements vary in character yet hold together through proportion and finish, like actors sharing a stage rather than competing for it. Small shifts in hue, reflection and silhouette create an interior that invites both contemplation and daily use.
Green Regeneration At Home
The apartment folds an idea of “RiGenerazione Green” into its interior palette. Low-consumption systems stay in the background while natural, bio-based materials and reduced artificial lighting shape the lived experience. Neutral colors form a quiet base, letting daylight and the grain of materials carry much of the visual weight. Sustainability here is not a slogan but another layer in the room’s composition, aligning technical choices with the calm, modernist temperament of the furnishings.
In this Taranto home, daily routines unfold against a backdrop tuned to art, material and measured environmental care. Morning light traces familiar routes across textured surfaces, changing just enough to keep the rooms visually alive. Casa LV stands as an interior where modernism, regional sensibility and a green ethos share one domestic ground, ready to absorb the next layer of lived stories.
