The apartment in Poznań’s Jeżyce district is a striking example of industrial-meets-contemporary elegance. Cool, raw materials are thoughtfully juxtaposed with soft, refined details, all while maintaining an understated yet inviting atmosphere, offering a masterclass in harmonizing contrasting elements, courtesy of local interior designers LBWA Studio. Situated in a modern development amidst the area’s historic tenements, the apartment’s design mirrors Jeżyce’s own blend of old-world charm and gritty, hip vibrancy—as the district is famous for its stunning Art Nouveau architecture as well as a growing number of trendy cafés, boutiques, and restaurants.
At the heart of the design is a palette of industrial materials, namely exposed concrete ceilings and flooring, and stainless steel and natural stone furnishings. These foundational elements give the apartment a raw, urban feel, while the use of warm, light birch wood, which flows seamlessly throughout, softly tempers the scheme’s starkness. This blend of hard and soft, cold and warm, is central to the apartment’s charm—industrial without being cold, contemporary without losing warmth.
