an ethereal fictional home
Paris-based 3D artist Nicholas Préaud has designed an ethereal digital home steeped in gentle, dream-like aesthetics. The project was conceived to showcase the collaboration between Scandinavian rug company Nordic Knots and New York City-based lifestyle brand ARJÉ, appearing as a sensitive intertwinement of their contrasting creative worlds. The artist thus blends minimalist touches with vibrant Mediterranean warmth, informed by the brands’ diverse languages who see their collection coming to life in a calming breezy place called home.

a home where minimalist north meets Mediterranean warmth
The imagined space takes shape in 3D renderings created by the artist Nicholas Préaud (see more here) in communication with the interior brands. the result sees a harmonic coexistence of raw and vivid materials of southern Spain with the sharp contemporary coolness of the Nordics. In this dreamed-up utopia, sleek Scandinavian minimalism exists in the architecture and the subtle color palette, whilst the rustic richness of the Mediterranean is echoed in the choice of materials, meticulous details, and accessories. Crossing different seasons and locations, the house embraces an olive tree at its core, all the while reflecting the serenity of the Swedish archipelago.
Just like the interior, a collection of rugs designed by ARJÉ (see more here) and brought to life by Nordic Knots (here) come to enrich this dreamy atmosphere: ‘Face’ is a fuzzy design in a rich, sunny shade of warm ochre, while ‘Family’ appears as a soft cut-pile design in antique white.
