LIS CARPENTER & STEFANO CARMI

Occupation: Textile Designer & Architect
Location: Milan, Italy
Client: The Modern House

A stone throw away from Duomo, Milan, Lis and Stefano talk to The Modern House about how they converted an industrial workshop into their home, defining modern living as:

Stefano: “In a time in which people are building all sorts of walls – both metaphorically and physically – modern living is about taking those walls down. It’s about creating a space that is open, not divided, and having a kitchen in which you are able to cook everything; not just the cuisine of the place you’re in.”

Lis:“Yes, it’s about having an open space. But it’s also about filling it with beautiful things that make you happy to look at.”
