\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\nCommitted to designing<\/strong> the interiors of a two-story residence <\/strong>in\u00a0Andermatt, Pierre Yovanovitch<\/strong><\/em>, approached the design project\u00a0<\/strong>more as haute couture<\/strong> than architecture<\/strong>, collaborating with contemporary artists and artisans on site-specific installations and custom furniture<\/strong>\u00a0to set\u00a0a\u00a0polished yet laid-back design<\/strong> aesthetic that harmoniously mixes the avant-garde<\/strong> and the natural.\n\n\"\"<\/a>\n
\u201cI wanted to create an interesting, yet inviting, space without detracting from the stunning view of the surrounding alps.\u201d\u00a0Pierre Yovanovitch<\/strong><\/em>\n<\/blockquote>\n\u201cTo do this, I incorporated design<\/strong> elements inspired by the region, such as the cantilevered staircase made of spruce and inspired by rural fences. I worked with specialty craftsman<\/strong> from throughout Europe to create custom furniture pieces which I mixed with vintage furniture and art, such as Swiss artist Ugo Rondinone<\/strong>\u2019s stone sculpture.\u201d\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\nSolid wood<\/strong> is also highlighted in many of the bespoke furniture<\/strong> designed by Pierre Yovanovitch<\/strong><\/em>, such as the angular sofa of grey-tinted larch wood and matching daybed in the living room, and the two semi-circular benches of solid oak in the entrance hall, both made by French carpenters Pierre Elois Bris. The predominant usage of natural materials is complemented by a diverse range of light fittings that are inspired by nature such as American designer\u00a0Jeff Zimmerman<\/strong>\u2019s hand-blown suspension lights in the hall inspired by salt crystals, and \u201cFragile Future\u201d, an ethereal chandelier above the dining table, inspired by the fragility of the dandelion.\n
