Urban Living Experience in Zurich

teo jakob developed a holistic interior design concept that renders the urban lifestyle of the district in the interior spaces. With colour, light, materials and furnishings, a personal living environment was created with a distinct attitude and a strong atmosphere.

Northwest of Zurich’s city centre, a new urban neighbourhood is emerging on the grounds of a former industrial site. Here lies the flat whose interior was intended to incorporate the urban panorama. In collaboration with the client, teo jakob developed a clear living and colour concept: a kt.Color blue in the bedroom, as well as beige and grey-blue in the living area and library. This gave the flat depth, tranquillity and character.

The «637 Utrecht» armchair, designed in 1935 by Gerrit Thomas Rietveld (1888–1964) for Cassina, creates a striking accent in the room with its distinctive upholstery.

The «Corker» side table, designed in 2004 by Herzog & de Meuron for ClassiCon, is combined with the «Coordinates Floor» standing lamp, designed in 2020 by Michael Anastassiades (born in 1967) for Flos.

The «413 Cab» chair, designed in 1977 by Mario Bellini (1935–2024) for Cassina, is paired with the «Smithfield Suspension Pro» pendant lamp, designed in 2009 by Jasper Morrison (born in 1959) for Flos. Together, they create a clear, timeless dining area.

In the library, the «Bell Side Table», designed in 2012 by Sebastian Herkner (born in 1981) for ClassiCon, adds a colourful accent.

The standing lamp from the «FEZ» family by Baltensweiler is combined with the «Habibi» side table, designed in 2008 by Philipp Mainzer (born in 1963) for e15, to provide cosy accents.

The table lamps from the «Glo Ball» family, designed in 1998 by Jasper Morrison (born in 1959) for Flos, provide tranquil, atmospheric ambient illumination with their diffused light.

«The focus was on rendering the urban environment in the living space. Through colour, light and carefully selected furniture, an atmosphere was created in collaboration with the client, uniting clarity, tranquillity and personality.»
