Villa Lumos

In Sweden, in a magnificent villa dating back to the
early twentieth century, in Tyresö, on the shores of
the Stockholm Archipelago, Officine Gullo installed a
stove from its Restart collection. The home-owners,
thanks to the project by Refine Design Studio and
Himlekok chose to renovate their entire property
according to their family’s needs, desires and style.
Loving to cook and spending a lot of time in the
kitchen, they wanted a kitchen that could be the true
heart of the home and a family gathering place. The
style chosen is a mix between country and
industrial, with very careful choices of materials. It
features shades blue - a recurring colour throughout
the house - warmed by brass details.
The Restart kitchen perfectly matches the eclectic
and elegant design of the house. It is painted in
Graphite Grey with mat finish and burnished brass
details to match the rest of the kitchen. The retrostyle
brass door embellishes the adjacent space,
replicating a perfect blend of old-world charm with
contemporary elegance. The appliance features a
double oven, a main electric oven and a second
mini-oven with grill and rotisserie and an induction
hob. Above the hob one finds a custom-made hood
made entirely of steel that reminds of the appliance
colours, with elegant burnished brass edges that harmonise perfectly with the kitchen’s suspended light fixtures.
Natalie Strömberg, Interior Architect & Creative Director at Refine Design Studio, explains the kitchen project
as follows:
“We wanted to create a rustic family kitchen with lots of space and luxury details. For the kitchen, the heart
of the home, we wanted to harmonise the choice of materials and colours with the house’s location in the
Stockholm archipelago, and we knew right away that shades of blue would be the best choice, especially in
combination with the warmth of the brass details. Craftsmanship was the keyword in the creation of the entire
kitchen. We wished to create a kitchen from scratch where each component would be unique and tailormade
for the client. We wanted to recreate a rural atmosphere in which the stove and hood would fit with the
industrial look of the light fixtures suspended above the kitchen island.”
The stoves of the Restart collection are designed to fit into any kitchen and create unique environments. Each
creation is exclusive and designed to meet the needs of the client, customisable in colours and finishes.
