On display: inside the atelier-apartment of Italian designer Tommaso Spinzi

In this post-industrial Milan loft, Tommaso Spinzi has created a hybrid space that blurs the boundaries between gallery, creative laboratory and home. It’s a special kind of apartment that can incorporate a sleek vintage sports car without it eclipsing everything else, and Tommaso has the honed aesthetic and sheer confidence to pull it off.

The designer’s Milanese home, atelier and showroom provides a gallery-like setting for a host of playful, provocative statement pieces, where his own bold furniture designs sit easily alongside classic Italian pieces from the 1970s.

The designer’s eponymous studio, Spinzi, combines furniture and interior design with art direction, and features an online store showcasing rare vintage Italian designs. “Spinzi is a creative atelier that specialises in the art of the interior,” says Tommaso. “Our one-off and limited edition pieces of furniture merge the worlds of art and design. We also curate spaces and design interiors for our closest clients and, in the process, offer an amazing range of mid-century modern collectables,” he explains.
