London-based Nick Vinson and Avanti Architects have renovated the residence at the Italian embassy<\/a> in London<\/a> to highlight the quality of Italian design<\/a>, showcasing products from brands including Molteni & C<\/a>, B&B Italia<\/a>, Flos<\/a> and Poltrona Frau<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Vinson<\/a> collaborated with heritage specialists Avanti Architects<\/a> to refresh and update the residence on Grosvenor Square to ensure it aligned with modern Italian values and drew attention to the breadth and calibre of the country’s designers.<\/p>\n

“The residence sits on the second and third floor of a Grade II-listed building from 1868, the apartment’s interiors were last remodelled by Wellesley & Will in 1932,” Vinson told Dezeen.<\/p>\n

“We kept all the details from both periods and furnished with modern Italian furniture from the second half of the 20th century to today, selected for their enduring appeal and longevity.”<\/p>\n

Along with being the official home of the Italian ambassador to the UK, the residence has a broader mission to project a viewpoint of the country.<\/p>\n

According to the Italian ambassador, the interiors of the previous residence no longer reflected modern Italy.<\/p>\n

“As time passed, these spaces no longer adequately conveyed Italy’s image in the world, nor reflected the vitality and innovation of our country,” explained Italian ambassador Inigo Lambertini.<\/p>\n

“The goal was to combine tradition and modernity, highlighting the elegance of the building without sacrificing a contemporary imprint that reflects the excellence of Italian design.”<\/p>\n

For the interiors, Vinson worked with the embassy team to select fittings and furniture from the past 70 years that would promote Italian products.<\/p>\n

“One of the roles of the embassy is to promote Made in Italy, and this is now a suitable showcase for that role,” explained Vinson.<\/p>\n
