Hand-painted wallpaper takes centre stage in the way we reimagined a modernist apartment. Bringing an expressive layer to the space alongside French fabrics and objects from the Levant.

A daring new vision of Milanese living, designed to evolve through art, design and conversation.

We restored and transformed a modernist apartment in Brera, originally designed by Armando Ronca, by merging two neighbouring units into a bold rethinking of domestic space. Challenging conventional notions of interior design, the project unfolds as a carefully choreographed sequence of environments, each offering a distinct spatial atmosphere as visitors move through the apartment.

The “Gradoni” stepped system, draws inspiration from a conceptual intervention by Annabel Karim Kassar at the V&A Museum, evolved and reimagined to embrace its own unique purpose.

Crafted from birch plywood, treated with two distinct stains to achieve a sophisticated depth of finish. The surface is further refined with an alcohol-based powder solution—a technique borrowed from the world of restoration—and finally sealed with wax.

Garden of the Hesperides
At the Brera Botanical Garden, a sweeping wooden portico cuts through the landscape, guiding visitors along a path of discovery.
Between nature and construction, the Hesperides—the nymphs guarding the golden apples—emerge as scattered presences.
A dialogue between landscape, myth, and architecture.

Discover the installation during Milan Design Week 2026.

A space is not built through architecture alone.
It is also built through dialogue.
Throughout the week, Punk Witch becomes a place of exchange:
a series of conversations crossing themes, perspectives, and disciplines.
A moment to pause, listen, and engage.

Imagine a home inside a library.
Over 10,000 volumes define the space
not as an archive,
but as a living system.
Shelves become walls,
books become thresholds,and the domestic interior transforms into a place of exchange.
Here, space is not only passed through.
It is activated — through reading, dialogue, and presence.

A project does not begin when the space is complete.
It begins much earlier,when material starts entering into dialogue with place.

On site, every mark is a decision.
Every surface remains open.
Every element is in transformation.
There is no final form yet,
but there is already a direction.

Montebello begins here:between what already existsand what is taking shape.

During Milan Design Week 2026, Annabel Karim Kassar opens the doors of “Punk Witch”, a modernist apartment in Brera housing over 10,000 books from the collection of George Kerevan.
A space to explore, move through, and experience — among books, encounters, and unexpected moments.

Annabel Karim Kassar
A design presence moving across forms, disciplines and cultures.

Within her work, architecture, interiors and objects emerge as parts of the same design language, one that moves between memory, material and a contemporary sensibility.

Through Annaka Design & AKK Architects, this approach unfolds across different scales, giving shape to spaces defined by clarity, character and a strong sense of identity.
