Despont’s interior vision, rooted in a palette of oak, marble, and bronze, is elevated by Molteni&C’s bespoke craftsmanship. The kitchen is defined by white marble countertops and backlit backsplashes, paired with back-painted glass doors framed in aluminum — a material dialogue that echoes the tower’s crystalline geometry and ever-shifting reflections.
A composition from the Pass-word system by Dante Bonuccelli enriches the TV area, balancing solid volumes with open voids to encourage expressive freedom and modularity. Teorema by Ron Gilad, featured in the entryway and bedrooms, continues the theme of micro-architecture — celebrating asymmetry, rhythm, and fine joinery in an American walnut finish.

The result of many years of collaboration between Jean Nouvel and Molteni&C, the SKiN sofa is constructed of a self supporting hide leather cover with a special pattern — a texture crossed by light and suspended in space. Leather without body reshapes itself over time so that innovation and memory hold the same form. The SKiN sofa is the recipient of the 2008 Red Dot Best of the Best Award, 2008, the 2008 ELLE DECOR Design Award, and appeared in the 2008 ADI Index.
The Teorema drawer unit by Ron Gilad embodies the poetic dialogue between solid and void, transforming storage into sculptural architecture. Designed as a conceptual counterpoint to Gilad’s Grado° collection, Teorema explores the idea of containment as an inspired form, where stacked drawers and open compartments create a faceted surface that engages the eye from every angle.
