Lemon Studio's proposal for Schmidt at Casa Decor 2026: a box within a box inspired by Le Corbusier

At a venue like the Casa Decor design fair in Madrid, where every space competes for attention, Lemon Studio's proposal for Schmidt opts for a quieter yet far more impactful strategy: organising, refining, and building from a single gesture. The result is not a conventional interior but rather a kind of habitable system where architecture and furniture merge into a unified logic.

The idea stems from a clear concept: a 'box within a box' inspired by Le Corbusier's housing unit. As Marta Miñarro, founder of the studio, explains, 'everything originates from a single wardrobe module that is repeated, adapted, and transformed to create a large habitable structure' that organises the space, articulates its uses, and defines the domestic experience. Everything adheres to a constructive logic that turns order into form.

This central piece acts as an organising nucleus, allowing the space to flow around it without losing coherence or readability.

In this highly controlled setting, the choice of materials could not be incidental. Cosentino surfaces are precisely integrated into the project's key points, reinforcing the idea of continuity and formal cleanliness. In the kitchen, the island is resolved with Dekton Nara, a finish that provides balance without competing with the modular structure. As Miñarro points out, 'its application focuses on the worktop of the island, where an invisible plate solution is integrated to maintain the formal cleanliness and aesthetic continuity of the ensemble.' The result is a surface that works both practically and conceptually: the superfluous disappears, emphasising the idea of a continuous plane.

The same approach is applied to the fireplace front, executed in Dekton Somnia. This element introduces a more domestic and warm dimension within the system's rigour, creating a small reading space that balances the proposal.

Beyond aesthetics, the use of Dekton also addresses a matter of process. The material's ability to adapt to specific solutions and its technical reliability allow the design to reach a highly controlled level of detail. But there is another key factor: 'what we value most is the willingness and support throughout the entire process,' explains Marta. This collaboration enables fine-tuning decisions, adjusting combinations, and ensuring that every element fits within a global vision.

Lemon Studio's space for Schmidt impresses through its coherence. When the design is based on a solid idea and materials capable of complementing it, the result does not need to shout 'look at me.' Here, everything is exactly where it should be.
