Aprašymas

Through photography, personal stories, and detailed project narratives, this book offers a glimpse into the work of Kolenik, the Amsterdam-based interior design studio.

For generations, luxury was often associated with abundance; larger homes, rarer materials, and increasingly sophisticated technology. While those elements can still play a role, they no longer define what makes a home truly valuable. Today, luxury is increasingly found in things that cannot always be seen. In the quality of the air we breathe. The water we drink. The acoustics of a room. The feeling of calm when we arrive home after a busy day. The ability of a space to support wellbeing, connection, and everyday life.
Over the past two decades, Kolenik has explored how design can contribute to that experience. Not through excess, but through balance. Not through trends, but through thoughtful solutions that stand the test of time. Throughout their work, architecture, craftsmanship, technology, and nature are brought together with a shared purpose: to create environments that feel intuitive, comfortable, and deeply personal. The projects featured in this book reflect that ongoing exploration. They vary in scale, location, and character, from waterfront residences and urban penthouses to private wellness retreats and family homes. Yet despite their differences, they share a common ambition: to create spaces that enhance the quality of everyday life. Many of these projects were developed in close collaboration with clients who challenged us to think beyond conventional definitions of luxury. Their homes became opportunities to explore new ways of integrating sustainability, wellbeing, craftsmanship, and innovation into contemporary living. Not as separate features, but as natural parts of a cohesive whole. Elevated Luxury – Interiors for Conscious Living documents this evolution. Through photography, personal stories, and detailed project narratives, it offers a glimpse into the ideas that continue to shape our work and the people who inspire it.
