The Lagrange Residence, designed in Turin, Italy by the architectural bureau Fabio Fantolino, consists of two apartments intended for a mother and her son. These spaces are conceived as a single unit, yet each inhabitant maintains a sense of personal independence. The interiors draw inspiration from the styles of the 1950s and 1970s.

The mother's apartment is larger in size and distinguished by a refined elegance and sophistication, enhanced by the richness of materials used such as marble, luxurious fabrics, and polished steel.

The center of the dining area features a round marble table surrounded by dark velvet armchairs and illuminated by warm light from the Tango lamp from the Phanto collection.

Sliding glass doors in metal frames offer a view into the kitchen with cabinets made of high-quality black plastic FENIX and American walnut, complemented by surfaces of golden Calacatta marble.

The interior of the smaller apartment reflects the style of the 1970s. The living room has a more modern and informal character, adorned with vintage leather armchairs, a gasoline-colored sofa, and light chrome chairs with synthetic suede seats. The kitchen can be closed off to serve as a backdrop for the dining area.

The connection between the two apartments is emphasized by the use of identical flooring made of natural oak laid in a 'tree' pattern, along with some shared elements in furnishings and materials such as round tables, marble, leather, and velvet, which are incorporated into each of the two interiors in their own way, highlighting both their unity and individuality.
