Ningbo Dibao, China

Surrounded by the Yongxin River and Houtang River, Ningbo Dibao introduces high-octane luxury living to Ningbo’s Yinzhou District. The super high-rise building comprises 101 apartments and was developed by Ningbo Hongtai Real Estate Co., Ltd., with world-renowned British-Italian architect Richard Rogers at the architectural helm. Punctuating the Chinese city’s skyline with its striking ship-inspired facade and colorful triangular terraces, Ningbo Dibao features a curated selection of Molteni&C designs throughout each space, ranging from the living room to the kitchen and bedroom, creating an unexpected yet compelling dialogue between the brand's refined elegance and the upscale urban backdrop.

Drawing inspiration from the Pompidou Arts Center in Paris, France, Ningbo Dibao is conceived as an eye-catching X-structure with exposed steel frames and pillars. Ranging from 330㎡ to 740㎡, each apartment is finalized with a triangular terrace, a Rogers architectural signature, offering sweeping 270° panoramic views of the city. Located in an emerging residential enclave, Ningbo Dibao is also home to an exclusive executive club, complete with an art gallery, gym, lounges, and Chinese and Western banquet halls, providing residents with a comprehensive array of private amenities on site.

The Tivalì 2.0 kitchen, designed by Dante Bonuccelli and the Ratio kitchen by Vincent Van Duysen, chosen to enrich the appartments, exudes understated modernity, effortlessly balancing Dada Engineered innovation with exquisite design.

In the living room, the Cleo sofa and Cleo coffee tables by Vincent Van Duysen create a seamless synergy with the building’s exterior and the upscale character of the Yinzhou District. The modular sofa offers endless possibilities and is easily arranged around the coffee table, a domestic sculpture crafted from Eucalyptus, Black Oak and Sunrise Oak, encapsulating Van Duysen's meticulous attention to detail. The Arial boiserie by Studio Klass serves as an elegant backdrop for the entire space.

The apartments are further adorned with the D.847.1 writing desk alongside the D.154.2 armchair by Gio Ponti, to create a cohesive narrative between the pieces' architectural brilliance and Ningbo Dibao's distinctive construction.

In the bedroom, the Gliss Master wardrobe system by Vincent Van Duysen redefines storage, offering a wide selection of doors, accessories, and finishes, to create an entirely unique and personalized environment. The frame structure is envisioned with elegant eosin across the front of the frames and shelves, creating a magnificent harmony with the metallic rigor of pewter and bronze, an expression of refined taste and attention to detail.
