At Home With
Dawid Lagua
From vintage pieces to unique arts and craft, Dawid takes us inside his 70s apartment in Munich. The goal was to create a calm design aesthetic to come home to after a long day at work.
What is the story of your home /
We have been looking for a new home for a very long time. I still remember the moment when the phone rang while we were in Antwerp. After a few days we were able to take a look at the apartment. And what can i say: it was love at first sight. Big Windows and beautiful Lightining. An Outdoor Fireplace. We said yes within Seconds. But the best thing was that we didnt have to renovate anything. The apartment had the great 70s Vibe. And i really love it.
How would you describe your style /
Timeless Cozy Style. I really like timeless design. But its also very important to me that the Design represent my Life. I love to Invite Friends, have great dinners and keep myself calm. I think our style reflects all these things.
