02/10/2020 - PalermoUno​, the house gallery born in 2018 - in via Palermo 1 in Milan - from an intuition of​Sophie Wannenes​, founder and curator of the project, has opened the new location of ​Via Santa Maria alla Porta 5​. Sophie's passion for research - from young design talents to the selection of international furniture and interior decoration brands - led to the idea of a new space, larger and with four window displays, like a real ​show apartment ​on multiple levels where intuition and experiment blend together.
 
The ​window display shows a ​sophisticated apartment in which ​the ​main role is played by chromatic surfaces​, details of colored wallpapers, fabrics, resin surfaces, ceramic, terracotta, glass lamps and handmade wool carpets.
 
The ​meeting room next to the entrance, with a metaphysical suspended atmosphere, is emphasized by the geometries of the furnishings and the suspended chandelier by ​Bomma​, whose rounded shape recalls soap bubbles, creating special lighting effects. The walls and the material composition behind the buffet are signed by Matteo​ Brioni​.
 
In the ​large hall at the entrance the visitors are welcomed by the feminine ceramic sculpture from Anissa Kermiche in dialogue with ​Forma&Cemento's cement furnishings and with the wooden console by ​Medulum​.

Continuing along the path we can find the ​lounge area in which the essential lines of the seats by​ Tomer Nachshon​, the ​Nobe Italia marble coffee table and ​Foris l’origine delle idee lamp are combined with the soft shapes of the sofa ​Epònimo​.

The pop colors of the walls painted with ​Sikkens Italia together with the resin of the floor by​ Resin​, the carpets of ​Pinton1867 and​ Karpeta​, the material compositions of ​Fangorosa​, create all together one dynamic space.

The lightings of ​Bomma​, ​Foris l’origine delle idee​, ​Julie Lansom and ​Magic Circus Edition​, treated as sculptures, suspended, standing or wall-mounted, constitute a path between rooms.

The ​dining room immerses visitors in another place: a tropical forest hand painted by ​Pictalab’s team creates a chameleon effect together with​SchneidStudio’swall units and accessories and with the ​kitchen top covered with​Fangorosa’stiles. The table with totem-shaped base dialogues with the wooden seats, both by ​Soma​, recalling nature, as well as the ​Medulum ​storage structures.

On the ground floor also exhibited two ​bathrooms​, one where the geometry of the walls, made by Pictalab​, generate a three-dimensional effect. In both bathroom washbasins by ​Kast Concrete Basins​ and ​Quadrodesign​ taps and fittings. The other bathroom adiacente to the Shop in Shop shows beautiful lightings ​by Il Fanale.

Like a gallery, the ​corridor with the multiform objects of ​GLab​, connects the exhibition space to the Shop in Shop​.

The ​spiral staircase leading to the upper floor embraces the large suspended chandelier by ​Bomma that creates rainbow reflections on the wallpaper, animated by snakes, made by ​Wrap & Wall on a project for ​PalermoUno​.
 
Inside the ​mezzanine area​, in​thecorridorsurmounted by ancient wooden beams and with openings of light that see hidden corners of the street, alternate furnishings of different geometries: from the circular elements of the lamp of ​Il Fanale and the mirror, to the straight lines of the ​Pinton 1867 carpet and the library of ​Samer Alameen​.

The arched room hosts the​ Nobe Italia marble table, Tomer Nachshon chairs and the modular mirror of ​Linee Studio​.
In the next room, illuminated by the ​GLab wall lamps, the totem of ​Tana Design together with the pouf of ​Sophie Wannenes​ with ​Romo Group​ fabrics and coffee tables by ​Bomma​.
 
The room ends in the ​design studio and materioteca​, a place with a wide selection of ​fabrics, surfaces and coverings​, dedicated to professionals and enthusiasts where it is possible to receive personalized advice in the search for ​accessories and finishes for the home​.
 
The ​basement​, characterized by a deliberately rough and coarse architecture that recalls the essential space of an art gallery, houses a careful ​selection of vintage and modern furniture​. The light system is activated through a different selection of finishes from the ​Officine Morelli switches.

The journey into design is accompanied by a special musical selection of PalermoUno played by Sonos​ sound system. Next to the exhibition space, which can also be accessed through a dedicated entrance, there is the Shop in Shop of ​PalermoUno​, a Wunderkammer full of small design objects, handmade jewelry and some made in Italy delicatessen.
