In the large living room of this house in Fairfield County in the US state of Connecticut, the eye is drawn to each and every detail provoking an emotional response. Just like in a gallery of contemporary art. This is the idea behind the interior design created by Leigh Stewart Design, where art and design do not have distinct identities but are elements that complete one another, each giving emphasis to the other to create a complex overall identity. Attention is drawn to the large abstract paintings that stand out from the white rendered walls and unique furnishings, placed like sculptures in space: from consoles made from a mass of metal tubing in different diameters, to coffee tables that resemble irregular boulders, flowing cabinets with a matt gold finish and armchairs with long fringes.

Positioned in correspondence with two large canvases featuring bold graphic marks that follow on from one another in spiraling strokes, proves the perfect placement for seats from the Oasi collection by Kreoo, a brand that has always boasted extraordinary creativity and experimentation in working with marble, designed by Enzo Berti in 2010 that evokes the pictorial characters. The bench, available in three different configurations to create unique and continually unexpected combinations, is created by superimposing horizontal parallel layers of marble – in this design in Travertino Paglierino – that constitute permeable layers in organic shapes and in different sizes, fixed together by means of small cylindrical metal elements that are arranged vertically.

The seat is in the upper layer, with a material contrast given by the matured larch, carved and modelled to accommodate the shape of the body, while the lower one acts as a support. Customisable in different kinds of marble, Oasi by Kreoo follows the philosophy of this design: a unique, sculptural object, part of this journey between dwelling and displaying, between the idea of a home and a museum.
