With the Slovenian and Austrian borders within striking distance, you’d think the town of Udine would whisper Slavic and German. But aside from the bilingual street signs in Italian and Friulian, and the much-loved local schnitzel, the town is out-and-out Italian–including the Brutalist buildings that stick out like Lego blocks. It was here, in such a building, that Milanese designer Cristina Celestino got to work, taking the (re)design reins for an apartment originally built by Massimo Camillo Bodini in the late 1970s.
“The clients were a middle-aged couple who lived in the Venetian countryside. They had fallen in love with Udine and in particular, with the building,” shares Cristina.
Before its redesign, the apartment would have been that pot-bellied uncle constantly out of breath. Simply put, it was in sorry shape—and it badly needed a facelift. Thus twirled in Cristina, with her magic palette and her design wand in tow. “The client requested an elegant and functional home with a balanced use of colour and material,” says the designer, who turned the apartment’s skin inside out.

In the living room, she framed windows with bronzed aluminium, spruced up stairwells with pink plaster, and used Roman travertine to give the split-level space a sunny sense of seamlessness. “The lower part of the living room features a 40-centimetre-high plinth, and resembles a bathtub,” quips Cristina. But despite her witticism, it isn’t likely that you’d find yourself thinking of bubble baths in the living room. Not when you have such gorgeous furniture to look at. Cassina’s Antella table, Saba’s Gala sofa, a powder-coated sheet-metal table by Attico Design, and Frisée chairs custom-designed by Cristina for Billiani give the modern setup a swish 70s edge. “The interior doors are originals. I found their design very interesting,” she says, gesturing to the burgundy-lacquered door panels by Azucena, with brass handles by Caccia Dominioni.
The raised dining area is partially shielded by a custom-designed planter, while panelled curtains screen the full-height terrace doors. The pink walls are animated by Matete Martini canvases that fan the home’s whimsical side. “I decided to keep the original floor plan because it is very functional and contemporary,” says Cristina. The area’s eye appeal is balanced by functional interventions. For instance, a brick-coloured partition stands between the dining area and the entrance, while doubling as a functional pantry and storage space.
