Big parquetry, big pattern, big colour. But this idiosyncratic restoration of an art nouveau apartment fallen on hard times by architectural duo Than & Videgard Hansson is remarkable for much more than its controversial good looks. The architects may have shunned the international zeitgeist in favour of a localized, artisan-inspired bespoke, but the result is much more progressive poetic than provincial.
