Furnishing Concept For A City Flat In Zurich

For a two-storey city flat in Zurich, teo jakob developed a furnishing concept that organises individual living requirements and blends design classics with contemporary creations.

The team from teo jakob Zurich supported the client prior to move-in, analysing spatial layout, lighting and materiality. At the heart are the «Bumblebee II» sound-absorbing wall tapestry by Emma Larsson for Moooi Carpets, the «Camaleonda» modular sofa by Mario Bellini, and the «NVL» dining table by Jean Nouvel, complemented by furniture from various epochs.

The «Bumblebee II» wall tapestry by Emma Larsson for Moooi Carpets merges artistic expression with acoustic functionality. The «Camaleonda» modular sofa, designed in 1970 by Mario Bellini for B&B Italia, remains a classic of spatial flexibility.

The «NVL» dining table, designed in 2021 by Jean Nouvel for MDF Italia, stands on two central volumes that taper upwards. The «Rely HW35» chair, designed in 2020 by Hee Welling/&Tradition, has a seating shell made of 100% recycled polypropylene.

The «Nelson Saucer Bubble» lamp, designed in 1947 by George Nelson, uses polymer sprayed onto a steel frame. The «Kubus Centerpiece» bowl, designed in 1962 by Mogens Lassen, follows Bauhaus principles.

On the upper floor stands a USM Haller sideboard, designed in 1965 by Fritz Haller and Paul Schärer, fitted with plant accessories. Beside it stands the «Planner Shelving», designed in 1952/2019 by Paul McCobb for Fritz Hansen, featuring a delicate steel structure.

The «Camaleonda» sofa, designed in 1970 by Mario Bellini for B&B Italia, divides the living space into flexible distinct areas. The «Saarinen» side table, designed in 1957 for Knoll, is an icon of pedestal design.

The «Quaderna» table, designed in 1970 by Superstudio for Zanotta, is a key work of Radical Design. Its square surface brings the grid principle to the realm of furniture.

«For this home, we wanted to make use of the openness of the spaces to work with a few strong statements: The Bumblebee II velour carpet, displayed like a painting, takes on the role of the unifying element across both storeys of living space; around it, we compose Camaleonda, NVL and other classics into unexpected pairings. This creates an eclectic mix of shapes, colours and eras.»
