Brighton, England 2019 Bespoke sofas

While Maison Norki is globally renowned for its prestigious alpine chalet interiors, this project demonstrates our ability to adapt with brilliance and exclusivity to seaside environments.

This exceptional residence, located on the British coastline, perfectly embodies the refined and warm spirit of the English cottage. The interior architecture prioritizes chromatic sobriety, absolute comfort, and expansive windows that transform the seascape into a living masterpiece.

To orchestrate this project, the prestigious London-based firm Gabriel Bernardi infused a philosophy where the pursuit of beauty is central. For Studio Bernardi, beauty is neither a matter of fashion nor trend; it is about creating lasting harmony. Whether contemporary or classical, every project is guided by universal principles of proportion and balance, ensuring that every space transcends time without losing its grandeur.

Detail of the sofas with white pony hair piping

The detail that highlights the exclusivity of this piece lies in the use of wide white pony hair piping. This striking contrast sculpts the sofa’s silhouette, adding a graphic touch reminiscent of sea foam and nautical aesthetics, all while maintaining the timeless codes of the “British touch.”

Design Engineering Dedicated
to Absolute Comfort

As Gabriel Bernardi Studio rightly emphasizes, « beauty must also serve function ». Our designs are engineered as much as they are envisioned. Every technical detail of the sofa has been meticulously studied to offer impeccable performance and exceptional longevity.

The alliance between Gabriel Bernardi’s architectural vision and Norki’s artisanal mastery has resulted in an interior where comfort is sovereign. Cowhide, a noble and durable material, adapts perfectly to the coastal atmosphere, offering an incomparable tactile softness. This project proves that luxury, when treated with simplicity and precision, becomes a timeless living experience, far removed from fleeting trends.

Beauty must also serve function.
