Suspended between the sea and Mediterranean scrubland, a new residence designed by Antonio Baroncelli in Ibiza marks a stylistic evolution for Visionnaire. The brutalist yet fluid architecture, embedded in the natural slope and distributed across multiple levels, introduces a new concept of contemporary living.
The project reinterprets Mediterranean heritage with a modern architectural language: large glass panels, canopies, hanging gardens, and a central patio inspired by the ancient Roman impluvium create a seamless flow between indoor and outdoor spaces. Natural light and materials converge in a dialogue of balance and beauty. The palette is warm and neutral, with satin finishes and carefully chosen sustainable fabrics and leathers expressing a refined, conscious idea of luxury.
At the heart of the project are Visionnaire’s hero products: the Babylon Rack Circle, the Kerwan table, the Aubade bed by Alessandro La Spada, and the Shibari and Aries armchairs by Studiopepe and Draga & Aurel. These pieces interact with the architecture in a tactile, emotional narrative, where each element contributes to a unique spatial identity.
Here, the home becomes more than just a physical place—it is an emotional landscape. A sanctuary of introspection and elegance, it fosters a deeper connection with nature and with oneself. Visionnaire invites us to embrace slowness, contemplation, and the timeless power of essential beauty.

Fashion and design create the Aries armchair which combines minimal chic and geometric lines, a tribute to the space age experiments of Andre Courreges and Pierre Cardin. The padded part is supported by a shiny metal structure, which continues from the base up to the backrest defining its unique style.

The Aubade bed, like a horizontal stage set evoking the sunrise, is a geometric composition of solid and empty volumes, enhanced by the depth of backlit Patagonia marble panels. The upholstered headboard, divided into six geometric elements, is nestled within this exquisite marble frame with a hydro finish. Small courtesy LED lights are integrated into the upholstered side profiles, adding a subtle glow. A true sanctuary for body and mind, offering a space for rest and retreat into a dreamlike dimension.

An evolution of the Babylon Rack, this sofa combines the rigor of the geometric design that distinguishes it—in a backrest defined by full and empty volumes—with the softness of its round and slender seat. The two new padded elements are the protagonists of the scene, the Babylon Rack Circles follow the organic lines of the walls and develop in a soft curve. Even in this new project the main concept of this upholstered furniture has been preserved with functional elements for study, work and relaxation. The sofa is also equipped with a wireless system—inserted inside the armrests—which allows the charging of lights and smartphones.

Boyd is a modular furniture system open to infinite configurations, introducing new and generous proportions: the sofa is low and deep, designed to encourage a more relaxed and informal seating experience. It represents the epitome of comfort and is particularly inviting and welcoming thanks to the large down- filled cushions. It has been designed for an ideal placement in the center of the living space.

Foil, a very light chaise longue, is a creation of perfect ergonomic design, with a slender silhouette. Foil can be utilized in a wide range of settings: thanks to its contemporary image that combines beauty and anatomical precision, the seat enters into a dialogue with the body, adapting to any type of use, without any need to adjust the back. The legs are in iroko wood with wooden joints and small steel inserts in the feet. The seat is made in fabric, while the structure is in metal. The design is completed by a headrest, supported by a leather strap equipped with a weight for height adjustment.

Ilario—named after a buen retiro cherished by the designers—is a sofa that offers modular freedom and rounded forms. The many configurations can form right or obtuse angles, thanks to the orientation of the various upholstered modules, and have been envisioned for an informal and personalized, comfortable and dynamic living area. The central circular element can be interpreted as an individual product, existing independently from the rest of the composition. The base is made in iroko wood with details in brushed steel, while the rear portion features brackets covered in leather to support the back.

Kerwan is a fusion of unexpected geometries. The table’s uniqueness lies in the curvature of its marble legs, shaped from a slab rather than a block, minimizing material waste. The steel and stone of the base blend seamlessly, creating an optical fusion. The two materials, tensioned by concave and convex curves, form a single, dual-faced element, while the reflective surface of the curved steel mirrors the surrounding environment. The marble top completes the design with a sculptural touch.

The armchair wins the Archiproducts Design Award 2023 for its innovative concept and refined design, as well as the Archiproducts Sustainability Award for the low-impact qualities of its “Paddington” fabric covering, an eco- friendly material obtained from recycled PET and in turn recyclable but also thanks to the construction techniques adopted to ensure correct disassembly for disposal.

Matteo Cibic, an Italian transmedia artist and designer, is recognized for his whimsical, anthropomorphic creations that seamlessly blend functionality and luxury. Cibic’s work blurs the lines between art and design, resulting in a unique hybrid style. Whether creating an object with a hybrid function or a sculptural piece with a joyful form, his work always evokes a sense of whimsy. And this is how the Siona furniture family was born, consisting of a bar cabinet and a low cabinet, both characterized by a sculptural base made of antique brass.

The Spectre armchair has organic and technical inspirations at the same time, defined by aerodynamic and material features that underline the exclusivity of the product also through a careful selection of materials and finishes. The body has an organic shape in curved wood with a seat entirely covered in leather, which we also find in the armrest to embellish it.
