Residential development in Wadenswil by Zalaba Design.

For this project, we developed the interior concept and sales visualizations with a clear objective: to help prospective buyers imagine how the property could feel and function in everyday life.

Warm timber, natural stone, soft neutral tones, and subtle contrasts create a refined contemporary atmosphere. Rounded furniture, layered lighting, and carefully selected finishes add warmth and character, while generous glazing connects the kitchen and living area with the surrounding landscape.

The bathroom follows the same restrained approach, creating a calm and spa like atmosphere.

Rather than presenting empty rooms, the visualizations show a complete living experience and help potential buyers form an emotional connection with the property.

Gold Coast real estate development by Zalaba Design.

For this project, we developed both the interior concept and a series of photorealistic sales renderings to help potential buyers understand not only the property, but the lifestyle it could offer.

Natural light, warm wood, soft neutral tones, and carefully selected materials create a contemporary yet welcoming atmosphere. Organic forms and sculptural details soften the clean architectural lines, while furniture, artwork, and lighting give the interiors a distinctive identity.

Each visualization was created to present the future home as a complete experience, allowing prospective buyers to connect with the project emotionally before construction is complete.

I’ve always loved pieces that have a strong presence without trying too hard.

Some of these designs were created decades ago, yet they still feel completely at home in contemporary interiors. The Togo, LC4, Wassily and other iconic pieces have shaped the way we think about furniture, form and space.

I’ve put together a few of the ones I think every design lover should know. Some you’ll recognise instantly, others may be new to you.

Which one would you have in your own home?

Townhouse at Helvetiaplatz Zürich by Zalaba Design.

This contemporary city home was designed around natural light, comfort, and a refined sense of everyday living. Warm neutral tones, natural wood, soft textiles, and subtle dark accents create a calm and cohesive interior.

Large windows bring abundant daylight into the home, while soft curtains create a more intimate atmosphere throughout the day. The open living and dining area forms the social heart of the residence, while the bedrooms introduce warmer tones, tactile materials, and layered lighting for a quieter atmosphere.

Bespoke joinery, carefully selected furniture, and refined lighting details bring the entire interior together.

The result is a timeless home where sophistication comes through thoughtful design, quality materials, and genuine comfort.

Swisscom Bern by Zalaba Design.

This workplace transformation focuses on creating an environment that supports productivity while also encouraging comfort, connection, and interaction throughout the day.

A warm material palette, comfortable seating, textured surfaces, and carefully considered lighting create a professional yet welcoming atmosphere. Dining and lounge areas offer flexibility for informal meetings, focused work, social interaction, and breaks.

Large windows bring natural light into the interior, while colourful artwork and curated objects add personality and help create an environment that feels individual rather than corporate.

The result is a contemporary workplace designed around the everyday experience of the people who use it.

Marché Restaurant Singapore by Zalaba Design.

The interior combines the warmth of an Alpine inspired setting with the energy of contemporary dining. Rich timber surfaces, red accents, patterned textiles, and distinctive lighting create a welcoming environment with a strong and memorable identity.

Natural wood brings warmth throughout the restaurant, while upholstered seating and carefully selected details add comfort and character. Red tartan lampshades and coordinated textiles create a consistent visual language across the different dining areas.

The generous glazing introduces natural light and creates an elegant contrast with the warm interior palette. Different seating arrangements provide flexibility while maintaining a cohesive atmosphere throughout the restaurant.

The result is a distinctive dining environment where materials, colour, lighting, and furniture work together to shape the guest experience.
