DON RAFFAELE

How can you accommodate five people in just a few square meters while preserving Sicilian charm and spirit?
Can a house convey Sicilian spirit without words?

​

This interior design project treats space as a narrative, where materials, details, and integrated solutions preserve both identity and function.

Slender wrought-iron chairs, when folded back, conceal comfortable beds. Pale three-dimensional ex-votos applied to the walls of the two elevations light up as red hearts when they meet the stone headboard of the double bed.

Lava finishes, Sicilian terracotta, and slender copper taps create a counterpoint with the kitchen, where a concave stone sink and induction hobs remain completely hidden.
