Wolfhalden, Switzerland – Carbone Design has won the Luxury Lifestyle Award in the category of   ­The Best Luxury Architect and  Interior Design Studio in Switzerland.

The Carbone Interior Design AG team is based in the Swiss village of Wolfhalden. The eighteenth-century property, which is home to modern offices, lies high up in the hills with stunning panoramic views out over Lake Constance.

The showroom, which resembles an enticing treasure room with its shimmering material samples stacked up to the ceiling, is housed in a former cowshed. The location of this small but inspiring workspace out in the countryside clearly illustrates the philosophy of the founder Claudio Carbone, who says: “Natural beauty goes beyond artificial beauty. Man is part of nature. We love the unaffected and the creaturely. What is spread, stilted and mannered, on the other hand, seems boring and bland to us.”

Carbone Interior Design creates spaces that are defined by a certain elegance and cosiness without unnecessary design experiments or superficial effects. Its interiors feature clear lines, precise craftsmanship and stunning natural materials that invite you to feel and touch them. Light and color, elements that perhaps influence our emotions more strongly than any others, also play a crucial role.
