柏林公寓 | 光与暗的彩色之旅

Two very distinct colour palettes divide the Berlin apartment that furniture and interior designer Martin Holzapfel shares with his partner, artist Jürgen Eisenacher. We take a journey with them from the light into the dark…

When Martin, who relocated to Berlin in 2002 after graduating from The Academy of Fine Arts in Munich, moved into this 200-square-metre home, he made the decision to divide his approach to decorating it. Using his innate affinity with colour, he split it right down the middle.

An art nouveau building with an abundance of natural light in its south-facing rooms, the property lent itself to this structured approach. ‘In the brighter areas, the walls are painted white, while in the darker spaces [which include an office/snug and guest bedroom] we chose dark hues of grey and green,’ explains Martin.

To these two happily co-existing palettes, he and Jürgen have added many of their own designs – all of which share the same exuberant approach to colour.
