GALLERIA DE SOL

Galleria De Sol is not created as a showcase, but as a lived-in composition. The design is guided by a deep appreciation for mid-century and Danish Modern principles, interpreted through a contemporary, personal lens. To achieve the intended design language, curation played a crucial role. Paint colours were handpicked from Benjamin Moore and ALPI veneer was selected for the built-in console. Furniture pieces were also sourced from second-hand Danish furniture shops. Colour drenching was approached with complementing the space in mind, while avoiding visual distraction.

The original idea was to enlarge the living/dining space by hacking down one of the common rooms to open up the space. However, due to structural reasons which disallowed hacking, all walls had to remain intact. Instead, expansiveness was instilled in the space through colour and materiality — where the position of furniture & decor guides one’s perception of depth and volume.

The spatial language is restrained and deliberate. Clean lines, balanced proportions and an emphasis on human scale echo the philosophies of Mogensen and Wegner, where function is inseparable from comfort. These ideas are softened by material warmth, in the reddish wood wall finishes that recall Mid-century tradition. Walnut surfaces ground the home, and a confident green tone stabilises the palette without overpowering it. Objects are treated as part of the architecture rather than decoration. Vintage ceramics, art pieces, and vinyl collections are curated with intention, inspired by the sculptural restraint in Noguchi’s work; where form carries emotion, and absence is as important as presence. Shelving becomes a quiet framework for memory, while light and shadow act as finishing layers that shape atmosphere throughout the day.
