The apartment is set within a 200-year-old palazzo in Brera Milan, fronting the same courtyard as Salvatori's Milan showroom, where the brand sells a variety of natural stone tiles, furniture and homeware.

Having grown tired of the apartment's characterless white surfaces and fixtures, brand CEO Gabriele Salvatori tasked designer Elisa Ossino and her eponymous studio with giving the space a more intimate feel, so he could entertain friends and clients in a more convivial context.

In the living room, the old a partition wall and false ceiling were knocked through to give the illusion of more space.Elisa Ossino Studio introduced coloured pieces of marble to form large decorative artworks, displaying an assortment of three-dimensional shapes.

There are also a selection of pieces by Salvatori scattered around the room's off-white sofa and wicker armchairs.These include the Colonnata oak bookcase, which features veiny marble shelf dividers, and a series of vase-like marble ornaments intended to echo those seen in the still-life paintings of 20th-century Italian artist Giorgio Morandi.

Hues seen in the apartment's original ripple-pattern terrazzo floors are applied throughout the interiors. In the dining area, which is centred by a monochromatic marble table, walls are painted dark grey and the ceiling is blush-pink.Slate-coloured marble tiles line the walls of the bathroom, while bolder tones feature elsewhere – from the golden corridors, to the teal-hued master bedroom.
