8. PLAN
Circo Letterario is a project in which the designer principal aim is to create a pleasant
and alternative place instead of what is known as a normal library or a traditional bar,
consisting in different shapes and decoration based on the style of ‘the circus’.
Inspired by the diversity of the furniture used in the bar, with its lamps and chairs; or
as in the lounge area, where the sofas are all different from one another, giving a sense
of personality and privacy between costumers.
The spaces are well divided but also visible between them, taking advantage of the
length of the space.
Another meaningful decoration is the roof, there were created a kind of suspended
ceiling with ondular lines, which create a view of continuity.

13. Project: “New Beginnings”
THESIS in interior design.
Concept: Restructuration and innovation of an
existing appartment.
May.2014
The project carried out by the author in this thesis is based on the restruc-turation
of the apartment in which she has lived for 2 years. Located in the
city of Florence, in the historical center .
The designer's objective is to transform a space decorated with an antique
atmosphere in a modern space, to achieve this, the designer was based on
the style 'Shabby Chic' which is characterized by combining modern ele-ments
with vintage elements, both functional and decorative.
The Designer choose this style because somehow characterizes the idea
of her project, combining an atmosphere of the past with the present, ex-pressed
through the colors and spaces using natural light.
She is also based on adding modern structures to disperse the light around
the rooms, modifying part of the roof. this is made with the aim to create
a modern atmosphere but also that doesn't ruin the sense of the chosen
style.
The Designer is focused in a specific group of customers , which are young
clients, preferably females and the space will be adapted to be inhabited by
no more than three people maximum.
Another objective is to create a contrast between the facade of the building
dating from 1500, and within the department, which is a modern place,
creating a contrast in the colors that are normally used in most of the ap-partments
in Italy,(warm colors) using lighter colors.
