Canaletto
Residential hospitality revisited
Canaletto, adjacent to the Regents Canal, sits on the doorstep of Tech City and at the heart of four of London’s most dynamic districts; Islington, Clerkenwell, Shoreditch and the City. Overlooking London, this apartment’s light-filled interior seamlessly connects to spacious terraces and expansive views beyond.

For the design of this interior at Canaletto in London, the approach was one of curating rather than decorating by prioritizing quality over quantity. Hints of luxury come from design-forward details in the collection, expert craftmanship and refined tailoring. Ultimately the process gives life to spaces that are both comfortable and delicate, with the use of natural materials that underscore the inspiration of bringing the outdoors in.
Natural oiled wood flooring matched with design details that are accented with light oak and pale sage green forms a contemporary foundation to a light-filled layout. The bedrooms vary in contemporary aesthetic and design elements, with comfort being the common thread. Furniture pieces that stand out for their quality of detailing and light footing are featured in each space.
The open plan facilitates views and movement easily throughout, but within this the furniture was arranged to establish subtle zones that are nevertheless separated. The living area is oriented with large comfortable seating zones, a movable TV stand that doubles as digital art in the space, and feature seating providing variability to how the space is used – be it in a snug reading corner, or in a group setting for socializing with friends.
Signature furniture pieces include design elements by Patricia Urquoala for B&B Italia, Piero Lissoni for B&B Italia & Living Divani, Greta M. Grossman for Gubi; Keiji Takeuchi for Living Divani; Peter Fehrentz, Bernhard Muller, & Gil Coste for MORE Meubel and Andrea Lucatello for Catallan Italia.
