LC Atelier founder Lucrezia Calvi’s design ethos is built around the word ‘atelier’—with Old French etymological roots conjuring the wood shavings or ‘astele’ of a carpenter or artist’s workshop. As Calvi attests, ateliers are “a space where visions are cut, stitched and composed.” It’s no surprise then that this craft-oriented sentiment underscores her renovation of a 1960s Milanese apartment.
