A tailored and seductive apartment in Milan designed by Galbiati Arreda takes center stage on the pages of AD Architectural Digest.

Designed specifically for a homeowner passionate about fashion and art, the interiors of this Milanese residence near CityLife reflect her refined taste, with spaces that evoke a contemporary art gallery.

The Presotto wooden wardrobe creates a connection between the corridor and the entrance. From here, the living room is reached through a monumental red arch. Above the suspended catch all console hangs the Laguna lamp by Artemide, while the striking golden stool by Pianca serves as seating, resembling a small sculpture.

The wine red arch is a soft and organic element that bursts dramatically into the space. The same hue is echoed in the recessed back panel of the Presotto wooden cabinet. The lamp on the surface is by Artemide and the round rug is by Amini. Photo Cristina Galliena Bohman styling Francesca Martinez
The wine red arch is the apartment’s landmark: tactile, enveloping and soft. It guides guests from the entrance into the living area. Photo Cristina Galliena Bohman styling Francesca Martinez
The central partition, which acts as both the heart and divider between the living room and the entrance, features a through niche finished in gold. This opening in the wall is clad with a reflective metal sheet in yellow toned shades that perfectly complements the apartment’s other precious finishes.

The project, designed by interior designer Federico Galbiati together with the Galbiati Project team, emphasizes organic forms, sophisticated colors and precious materials. Spaces unfold like theatrical backdrops: from the monumental entrance with its red arch to the living area and display corners that host artworks and selected design pieces. Custom wood boiserie, metallic surfaces and golden finishes stand out throughout, creating an atmosphere that is both enveloping and contemporary.

Behind the central partition, which hosts the Adriani e Rossi sculptural wall lamp, lies the living area with the sculptural Flou sofa. In neutral tones, this piece blends into the architectural envelope, allowing the metallic golden elements to stand out. The rug is by Minotti.

The dining area, set in a niche, is a scenographic corner with fluted wood effect boiserie. Standing out against the wood backdrop is the suspended lamp by Cattelan. The table is a Pianca model paired with velvet armchairs by Pols Potten. Photo Cristina Galliena Bohman styling Francesca Martinez

In the kitchen, the central island becomes a true convivial focal point, with metallic lacquered fronts and Calacatta Oro gres details contrasting with the dramatic hood. In the bathrooms and sleeping areas, materials such as marble, wood and reflective surfaces ensure stylistic continuity and a seductive aesthetic, carefully crafted down to the smallest detail.

The entrance is the key element of the project, defined by wine red tones and warm wood essences. At the center of the space, covered in Kerakoll resin, lies the round rug by Amini. Custom wardrobes are by Presotto, the lamp on the suspended shelf is the Laguna by Artemide and the golden stool is by Pianca. Photo Cristina Galliena Bohman styling Francesca Martinez
From the living area, the kitchen can be glimpsed behind a fluted glass door. The island, in golden tones, features a pair of Kartell stools, while the suspended hood is by Pedini, like the rest of the kitchen. Photo Cristina Galliena Bohman styling Francesca Martinez
The kitchen is a golden box, warm and welcoming. The Kerakoll resin floor contrasts with lacquered modules that reflect light. Custom made by Pedini, it lends a refined elegance to the entire apartment. Photo Cristina Galliena Bohman styling Francesca Martinez
The study is a jewel like space in neutral tones with elegant finishes. The black desk by Meridiani stands gracefully within the composition. At the entrance, a baroque gold mirror. Photo Cristina Galliena Bohman styling Francesca Martinez
A golden optical effect creates a striking perspective in the bathroom. The suspended wooden vanity interlocks with the marble cladding. The Milù pendant lamp by Pianca hangs above. Photo Cristina Galliena Bohman styling Francesca Martinez

The bedroom is preceded by a neutral corridor defined by Presotto wardrobes that simulate a walk in closet. At the center stands the Koi bed by Flou, positioned at the end of the path and recognizable for its distinctive headboard supported by two elegant round section posts.
