Creative partnerships don't come more high profile than the Casa Son Vida, a long-term project involving the Marcel Wanders Studio, Los Angeles and Switzerland-based tecARCHITECTURE and developers Cosmopolitan Estates. Located in Palma de Mallorca, Spain, the Casa Son Vida is best thought of as a showcase for Wanders' visual eclecticism, the ultimate showhome for a lifestyle focused on design art, display and formal eccentricity.
tecARCHITECTURE has risen to the challenge of matching the Wanders aesthetic, producing a villa design that is a riotous combination of vernacular forms and avant-garde ideas, embellished by giant external murals and filled with a carefully curated cavalcade of bespoke pieces and contemporary classics from the Wanders oeuvre, including fixtures, furniture and fittings by B&B Italia, Cappellini, Baccarat, Poliform, and his own company Moooi, not to mention swathes of custom-designed Bisazza mosaics.
