NAPOLI PRIMO ATELIER APARTMENTS, ITALY
Two Apartments in Naples, Italy reimagine domestic life through radical open-concept designs and unique connections to the environments surrounding each home. Developed by Primo Atelier in collaboration with Molteni&C Naples Flagship Store, these two projects present unique architectural visions, each with the goal of transforming the way we think about how living spaces interact with the natural world around them.
OCTAVE SOFA VINCENT VAN DUYSEN
ROUND D.154.5 ARMCHAIR GIO PONTI
Situated on a natural balcony on the hillside overlooking the Gulf of Naples, Palizzi 75 is a 150 square meter apartment designed specifically to offer the possibility of breathtaking sea views from every room. To fully celebrate the sea as a living element integral to the home's design, each finish from walls to flooring was thoughtfully selected to create a continuous flow from one space to the next.
OCTAVE SOFA VINCENT VAN DUYSEN
ROUND D.154.5 ARMCHAIR GIO PONTI
Thoughtfully selected pieces from the Molteni&C Collection are used throughout the home to delineate each space. Contributions to the project include a custom kitchen and loose furnishings in the living areas, including the iconic Round D.154.5 armchair by Gio Ponti and the Octave sofa by Vincent Van Duysen’s, each selected to blend into the natural color palette provided by the sea itself.

Designed by Vincent Van Duysen, Octave is a modular sofa system characterized by rigorous shapes - a subtle study of proportions, creating a graphic interplay of geometric volumes. It’s inspired by wide skyscraper windows that offer breathtaking views over cosmopolitan megacities while comfortably seated on inviting sofas.
Gio Ponti’s Round D.154.5 armchair is a visionary icon that captures the spirit of mid-century innovation and modernity. With its groundbreaking shape and pioneering use of materials, this design, originally created in 1954, marked a pivotal moment in Ponti’s career, embracing new possibilities born from the era’s optimism and technological advances. Now reissued by Molteni&C, iconic masterpiece is made new with remarkable fidelity.
The Phoenix armchair by Vincent Van Duysen is designed to meet the evolving needs of contemporary outdoor living, combining refined geometry with a human-centered understanding of ergonomics. Each piece balances presence and lightness, offering a versatile seating experience that harmonizes effortlessly with the surrounding nature outdoors.
The Regent coffee table designed by Vincent Van Duysen is a collection of coffee tables with three distinct top shapes — round, oval, and square — each conceived as both a sculptural object and a practical surface. Their proportions are carefully calibrated to create a harmonious visual dialogue, allowing the pieces to nest effortlessly and transform living spaces into layered compositions.
The Panna Cotta outdoor coffee table by Ron Gilad captures a distinctive paradox between delicate form and stability. This table is a study in contrast: light in appearance yet grounded in material strength, making it a sculptural yet practical addition to outdoor living spaces.
