(AB)NORMAL is a multidisciplinary design studio based in Milan that got its start in 2017 not by designing interiors—but by designing a graphic novel. The studio, led by Mattia Inselvini, Davide Masserini, and Luigi Savio, began as an experiment for using outdated 3D objects to create spatial storytelling. It eventually blossomed into spatial design, product design, architecture, and interiors. The firm has gone on to design Versace runways, source and produce custom furniture for New York’s WSA building, outfit the Vogue Italia closet, and organize Gufram’s installation at Salone del Mobile 2024. For its latest project, the studio goes domestic but an element of the abnormal is still apparent.
Casa B is a residence located in a town in Northern Italy. The home is compactly organized by a series of boxes, housing the bedroom, kids room, kitchen and bath. (AB)NORMAL loosens up circulation by inserting a continuous skin of Okumè wood that conceals portals and doors to other rooms.
