étage 3, Latitude 43, St. Tropez

Located inside Latitude 43, the iconic building designed in the 1930s by Architect Georges-Henri Pingusson, a 150 sqm apartment becomes a sophisticated tribute to the modern movement and nautical aesthetics. The apartment, located within a historic hotel converted into a condominium after World War II, is part of a rationalist architectural context characterized by details evoking the ocean liners of the 1930s. Pingusson designed the building as a functional and aesthetic masterpiece, with windows and lines reminiscent of a ship’s hull and deck. Dimorestudio reinterpreted these historical codes to create a contemporary space deeply rooted in tradition. References to the Bauhaus and the works of Gio Ponti are evident throughout, with materials and colors that evoke a sense of “Mediterranean-ness.” Vietri tiles in shades of blue echo the ceramics Ponti designed for the Hotel Parco dei Principi, while the navy blue and white butter walls establish an intimate and sophisticated atmosphere. The custom-designed furniture combines functionality with aesthetics, featuring predominant use of wood and natural fabrics.
The living room, the heart of the home, showcases a curated selection of European 20th-century design masterpieces by Gabriella Crespi, Charlotte Perriand, Marcel Breuer, and Le Corbusier are featured alongside items from Dimoremilano, amplifying the dialogue between styles and eras. Decorative elements, such as ceramics and figurative artworks, contribute to the lived-in feel of the home, telling stories of life and travel through their presence.
