Ontwerpen met een Italiaans accent

Ontwerpen met een Italiaans accent At MEF we create an elegant blend of feelings and character that reveal our clients' world. Ik heb geen vaste stijl en die wil ik ook niet hebben.

Elegantie, functionaliteit, het samenbrengen van verschillende kleuren en materialen zijn zeker de kernmerken van mijn interieurdesigns. Bij mijn architectonische projecten ga ik altijd voor het samenspel tussen architectuur en de omgeving waarin de woning zich bevindt. Elk ontwerp is een verhaal van verschillende elementen die iets unieks vertellen over mijn cliënten. Ik ontwerp graag de beeldbepalende meubels voor een woning. Hier komt mijn Italiaanse afkomst naar boven.

The design of a multimedia meeting room for an institutional organisation in The Hague.
An ambitious project aimed at representing Italy through its authority, culture and identity beyond the usual clichés.

Three Italian design studios based in the Netherlands were selected for this competition.
Mine was one of them.

What defines Italy?
Elegance. Layered architecture. A rich history and gastronomic heritage. Forward-thinking design.
Italy is like the woman who enters a room and effortlessly captures everyone’s attention: refined, intelligent, witty.

This is the Italy I chose to tell.
And this is the Italy that won.

A new identity created through colour, atmosphere, and recycled materials.
For this clothing store concept, existing furniture pieces were carefully transformed and given a second life through a renewed palette and a completely new visual language.
The goal of the project was to create a warm and welcoming environment.

Because design is not only about aesthetics.
It is also about creating emotion and human connection through spaces.

Here is a small sneak peek of what this project is becoming.
Proud to have contributed to this transformation.

The Salone del Mobile ended more than a week ago, yet people are still talking about it.
Beyond the criticism, Milan remains a place where art and design continue to intertwine.

This year, I found myself in intersections.
In overlapping elements, geometric rhythms and structures transforming into composition.

A design language that often returns in my own projects for staircases, bookcases and bespoke furniture.

Because sometimes the most interesting design happens exactly there:
where function and decoration meet until they become one.

All photos taken during Milan Design Week are beautiful.
Being there is not just about visiting installations or discovering new designs.
It is a state of mind.

Ideas spark.
Intuitions surface.
And sometimes, you recognize something you had already designed, even before it became the work of a famous designer.

Then you go back to your desk and try to turn that dream into reality.

What you do is not always fully understood, but you move forward anyway, affirming your vision, your project.

Those who recognize this gaze know what I mean.
In Milan, we walk through wonder, and everywhere we see reflections of ourselves, of our spirit.

That is why our photos are always beautiful.

At the Salone del Mobile, I didn’t just see trends.
I saw a return to identity.

Homes are no longer trying to please everyone.

They are starting to represent someone.

And that changes everything.

Color is no longer a detail.

At the Salone del Mobile in Milan, it’s a statement.

Not used to decorate, but to build identity.Deep reds, burgundy, intense blues and saturated greens define the space, while natural tones evolve into warm, sophisticated nuances.

What’s changing is not just the return of color, but its role.It becomes structure. Language. Position.

Forms soften and contrast with more architectural lines.Stripes, patterns, bold combinations.Glass, textiles, small pieces all start to “talk” to each other.

The result? Interiors that feel refined, joyful, sometimes a little irreverent.

Even bathrooms embrace it.Not only tiles… even tapware shifts towards warmer tones.

Color is no longer trying to please everyone.It chooses to express.

And maybe this is the real challenge:moving beyond the comfort of neutral elegance and total beige, and designing spaces with more character.

Because we are anything but beige.

The balance game:
In a project, design elements interact with one another through forms, colours, and materials.
Within the space, each one fulfils its role by entering into dialogue or creating contrast with the surrounding elements.
Nothing is accidental in an interior architecture project. Every volume, every void, every shift in direction, every perspective exists for a reason, in relation to the other, in harmony.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

A home designed for a new chapter of life.

This bungalow was imagined for a couple who wanted to leave behind a larger house and move into a smaller, more comfortable home where they could fully enjoy their retirement.

The layout is completely barrier-free, designed so every space remains easy to use over time. Almost no doors, only sliding panels separating the living area from the bedrooms, creating a fluid and calm interior.

Large openings frame the landscape and bring natural light, water and greenery deep into the house.

Architecture and interior design were conceived together, with bespoke furniture and a palette inspired by nature: soft greens, lavender tones and touches of burgundy that echo the surrounding landscape.

A home where architecture, interior and nature become one continuous experience.

Where architecture meets the landscape.

This sustainable home is surrounded by greenery and a quiet canal, set within a beautiful natural landscape that offered many inspirations for the project.

The architecture was conceived as a dialogue with its surroundings. Volumes, openings and materials respond to the context, creating a subtle balance between the house and nature.

The interior architecture follows the same philosophy. Spaces, materials and bespoke elements were designed in continuity with the architecture of the house, so that inside and outside feel like part of one coherent story.

A home where landscape, architecture and interior design are deeply connected and harmonious.
