Owners display favourite paintings in a renovated Warsaw duplex

Modern living room with beige sofa, red armchair and rug.

A duplex apartment in Warsaw's Mokotów district has undergone a complete transformation by Loft Kolasiński. Carefully selected materials and individually designed furniture define the 171-square-metre interior, with attention given to details throughout. Photography is by Joel Hauck.

Wood and steel across two levels

The renovation provided an opportunity to reconsider the apartment's layout and character. Loft Kolasiński designed both the division of the rooms and a full set of furniture and steel-framed elements. Wood runs throughout the interior, from chests of drawers and bookcases to kitchen and bedroom units. WoodMaker and Wood Effect made the pieces with close attention to detail.

Metal Madness fabricated the steel-framed elements, giving the rooms a clear industrial accent. The deep black of the metal contrasts with the warm wood. Glazed partitions keep the interior visually light.

A Symmetry rug and a restored red armchair

In the living room, the studio's own designs are combined with Scandinavian minimalism. A rug from Loft Kolasiński's Symmetry collection for Massimo Copenhagen forms the centre of the seating area. Its geometric pattern complements the furniture's simple forms. A dark red armchair from the 1970s, fully restored in both its woodwork and upholstery, adds a strong visual accent. Furniture and lighting by Danish, Polish and Spanish manufacturers complete the room.

The owners' art collection

The walls serve as a domestic gallery for the owners' favourite paintings. Works by Tomasz Sętowski and Leszek Rózga give the apartment a personal quality and complement the wood, wool and linen, contributing to its natural, slightly artistic elegance. Every piece of furniture and every steel window frame was designed specifically for this interior, giving it a consistent and individual character.
