Scandinavian breath of freshness, unusual sense of forms and arranging precision of a small apartment in Gdańsk

27 of May '22

Arrangement in this style is a unique sense of forms and structures. Every element here is carefully thought out and perfectly composed, every color that appears has its deep justification. This modern and extremely aesthetically pleasing design is the work of the Gdansk-based studio LOQM.

Scandinavian minimalism

This unusual apartment is located in the center of Gdansk. It's small, but with its unique aesthetics it creates a livable space. It is filled with modern design, referring to Scandinavian minimalism. At the same time, we can also see here a pinch of mid-century modern style , which is characterized by simplicity, utility and fascination with streamlined shapes.

Color and composition balance

Theview of the kitchen and dining room seems to be a perfect composition. Penetrating patches of color complement each other. The color scheme of this space is subdued, even cool, but broken with wood, from which the fronts of the cabinets and the countertop, which serves as a table, are made. To break the monotony, it is located slightly lower in relation to the kitchen island, into which it blends with the corner. Here it is also worth noting the black leg supporting it, quite massive, but slenderized by the use of a striated texture.

The table is illuminated by a lamp with an uncluttered, fine form, referring to the equally original design and color scheme of the chairs. Additional lighting is incorporated here extremely discreetly, but so that in the evenings it creates a unique atmosphere. The atmosphere of the place is certainly also influenced by the change in the structure of the walls, by giving them streamlined shapes.

White, black and optically warming interior light brown are exposed thanks to the perfectly matched cool shade of microcement, from which the floor is made. Its velvety surface perfectly harmonizes with a variety of textures and materials, both soft and delicate, as well as rough and rough.

Precision and classics in the living room

Thekitchen is open to the living room, where you will find only the necessary furniture. Instead, they are unique. A beautiful chest of drawers, falling into green, with a rhythmic pattern of front doors, was designed and made to individual order. Interestingly, it does not stand classically on legs, but is suspended from the wall. Above it, hangs a poster by Ryszard Kai, from his cult series of graphics entitled Poland.

The structures of the furniture, such as chairs and low tables, are made of bent metal tubes, which are visually light and do not dominate the space.

Dominant colors

Encouraging to relax and emphasizing the style of this space is a sofa in a bold and intriguing red color. Surrounded by muted colors, it makes the interior perfectly complementary and balanced. Set amidst the reds is a minimalist coffee table, whose cobalt hue becomes the icing on the cake of this artful design.
