Interior Design Concept with a Personal Touch

For a maisonette flat in Zollikon, a couple was looking for an interior that would connect the architecture with their personal lifestyle. Starting with a few select pieces, a holistic interior design concept by teo jakob gradually evolved.

The starting point was the desire for a few new pieces of furniture to complement the existing furnishings. A trusting collaboration developed through dialogue with the couple. The client’s clear vision and dedication were complemented by the planning expertise of teo jakob. The result is an urban, modern interior that fits the architecture of the house exactly as well as it does the individual lifestyle of the residents, supporting them in their everyday lives for years to come.

In the lounge, the «Bell Side Table», designed by Sebastian Herkner (born in 1981) for ClassiCon, creates a refined accent next to the upholstered furniture. The «Lantern Light» standing lamp, designed by Lyndon Neri (born in 1965) and Rossana Hu (born in 1968) for ClassiCon, complements the scene with warm light.

In the reading area, the «Grand Repos» armchair, designed by Antonio Citterio (born in 1950) for Vitra, invites relaxation with its deep seat and adjustable back-rest. The «Lato» side table, designed by Luca Nichetto (born in 1976) for &Tradition, serves as a surface for placing items.

In the dining room, the «Saarinen» dining table, designed by Eero Saarinen (1910–1961) for Knoll, together with the «Caratos» armchair, designed by Antonio Citterio (born in 1950) for Maxalto, forms the centrepiece for shared meals.

The «Sebo» bed, designed by Antonio Citterio (born in 1950) for Maxalto, impresses with its clear lines, high-quality materials and exceptional comfort, creating a calm, timeless sleeping environment.

The «Topoled S» standing lamp, designed by Rosmarie and Rico Baltensweiler for Baltensweiler, stands out for its precision lighting, technical sophistication and timeless aesthetic.

In the bedroom, the USM Haller shelving unit, designed by Fritz Haller (1924–2012) and Paul Schärer (1933–2011) for USM, provides clear organisation and flexible storage solutions.

The «Ribes» outdoor sofa, designed by Antonio Citterio (born in 1950) for B&B Italia, forms the centrepiece of one of the lounges in the garden. The «Salt & Pepper» portable table lamps, designed by Tobias Grau (1959–2023) for GRAU, provide atmospheric lighting in outdoor areas with warm, dimmable light.

The ensemble is complemented by the «Mirto» outdoor side table, also designed by Antonio Citterio for B&B Italia, which serves as a practical surface thanks to its clear design language and robust materials.

«This project has evolved over the years. From initial individual pieces, a holistic interior design concept was developed in close dialogue with the clients. A clear attitude, strong commitment and mutual trust have given rise to an urban, modern living environment that connects the architecture and personal lifestyle.»
