Contardi Lighting: Designing Layered, Architectural Lighting Schemes for Modern Interiors
Posted by James Russell (29 March 2026)
Lighting is one of the most defining elements in any interior, yet it is often one of the least understood. For interior designers and architects, lighting is not simply about illumination. It is about shaping atmosphere, guiding movement, and enhancing how a space is experienced throughout the day. Brands such as Contardi have become integral to this process, offering lighting solutions that balance decorative presence with technical performance. At The Design Net, we work alongside designers to specify Contardi lighting within wider schemes, ensuring every piece contributes meaningfully to the overall design.
B&B Italia Modular Sofas: Flexible Luxury for Contemporary Living
Posted by James Russell (23 March 2026)
In today’s interiors, flexibility is no longer a luxury. It is an expectation. For interior designers and architects working across London’s most refined residential projects, the ability to create adaptable, future-proof living spaces is essential. This is where modular sofas have moved from trend to necessity. Among the brands leading this shift, B&B Italia stands apart. Known for its architectural approach to furniture design, B&B Italia has redefined what a sofa can be, not just as a product, but as a system.
Designing the Outdoors: Luxury Outdoor Furniture and Lighting for Architects and Interior Designers
Posted by Default Admin (06 March 2026)
Outdoor spaces are no longer secondary to interiors. Terraces, courtyards, rooftop gardens and hospitality outdoor areas are now being designed with the same level of consideration, comfort and materiality as interior rooms. For architects and interior designers, this shift creates both an opportunity and a challenge. Clients increasingly expect outdoor environments to feel like a seamless extension of the interior design narrative. At the same time, outdoor furniture must withstand weather, temperature changes and heavy use while maintaining aesthetic integrity.
Private House in Val di Non, Italy: A Study in Contemporary Italian Interior Design
Posted by James Russell (16 February 2026)
In this private house in Val di Non, Italy, contemporary Italian interior design is expressed with clarity, restraint and material intelligence. Set against the dramatic alpine landscape, the interior balances architectural precision with warmth, using carefully selected seating pieces to anchor the kitchen and dining spaces. Within this project, two designs play a central role: the Aky stool from the Aky Contract collection and the Marlen chair by EP Studio. Together, they demonstrate how well-considered seating can define spatial rhythm, comfort and atmosphere in a modern residential setting. At The Design Net, we work closely with interior designers and architects across the UK to source and supply pieces like these for private homes and turnkey contract projects. This home in Val di Non is an excellent example of how thoughtful furniture specification elevates architecture.
