A boutique agency with a contemporary mood in the historic center of Messina
A warm and welcoming environment, a place where elegance, contemporary design and art coexist. The project born from the idea of Nuccio Portale, entrepreneur and director of the UnipolSai agency in Messina, and from the desire to create a space that is more than an agency but a meeting place. The project was conceived by the architect Antonio Caponata, created in collaboration with the Mohd Interior Design Service.
Contaminations with a Sicilian taste are mainly reflected in the choice of materials: the flooring is locally made and refers to the classic motif of Sicilian cement. The environment is enriched by paintings and works of art by the Palermo painter Paolo Madonia, the artist of burnt painting. The ancient doors instead are original Louis XVI, expertly restored and adapted to the context through bright windows.
The combination with wood makes the space more intimate, while touches of red and orange in the entrance hallway give the space a strong personality. The shades of gray and the choice of resin give the space modernity and elegance. The choice of furnishings was guided by Mohd and reflects the passion for the design of the client. A search among the great classics of contemporary design flows into a selection of icons of international design.
The combination of brass and crystal balls in the chandeliers by give the room a particular uniqueness. In contrast, the refined table lamp by , designed by Piergiacomo and Achille Castiglioni in 1962, still retains the charm of a timeless object.
The elegant armchairs by in neutral tones are combined with the blown glass lamp by designer for , almost invisible during the day but protagonist in the evening.
The corner at the back of the room is reserved for the iconic armchair by , in a limited edition with fabric designed by Paul Smith, and for the table by which overturns every perceptual habit, using the light and fragile material of the glass as the basis for a metal top that seems to float above it.
Finally, the pair of gray armchairs by , with a comfortable and enveloping design, create a new living room.
