Mistovia designs apartment for food blogger to "resemble the recipes he creates"

A pale cream-coloured kitchen counter and swirly burl wood characterise the Warsaw apartment of food blogger Rozkoszyny, designed as a home and recording studio by Polish firm Mistovia.

Located in Warsaw's Praga district, the 65-square-metre apartment belongs to food blogger Michał Korkosz, known professionally as Rozkoszyny.

Mistovia founder Marcin Czopek renovated the home to reflect Korkosz's "sensual, bold, and exceptionally aesthetic" culinary approach.

"Michał's apartment resembles the recipes he creates: full of colours, soft lines and contrasting textures that create a surprisingly coherent whole," Czopek told Dezeen.

The open-plan kitchen is the apartment's centrepiece, anchored by a chubby island clad in bespoke cream-coloured tiles with a distinctively glossy sheen.

A skinny pink pendant light is suspended above the induction hob, while butter-coloured cabinetry adds to the airiness of the room. A sculptural arrangement of not flowers but vegetables sits on the worktop, created by local florist Remigiusz Dorawa.

"This space was designed so Michał could cook freely while chatting with guests," explained Czopek.

As Korkosz also uses the kitchen to record content for his social media channels, the Mistovia team chose the interior details meticulously to ensure that the apartment would look as attractive as possible on screen.

This involved preparing samples of each material and comparing them to each other, and even to Korkosz's face.

Across from the kitchen island, the dining table was topped with an oval slab of veneered wood in a deep brown hue reminiscent of the colour of nuts, in keeping with the food theme.

Czopek selected a series of mismatched chairs to accompany it, including two made of chrome and aluminium, as well as a tubular orange seat that adds a colourful accent to its metallic counterparts.

A beehive-shaped lamp, first created in the 1970s by Danish mid-century designer Verner Panton, illuminates the table.

Floor-to-ceiling glazing is hidden behind thick curtains in burnt orange and delicate peach hues.

The living space was dressed in the same lively details. Red marble tops a long timber sideboard, which was positioned opposite a custom wall unit with open shelving for books and sleek burl wood cupboard doors that conceal the television.

An organic-shaped mirror and a curved salmon-pink tiled wall offer a softer antidote to the space's more geometric furniture.

Korkosz's bedroom is defined by a large burl wood wardrobe and a spiky crimson pendant light, while the bathroom's marble accents and colourful tap echo the rest of the apartment.

"This home perfectly reflects its owner's personality," said Czopek. "Full of life, warmth, courage and a love of beautiful objects."

Based in Katowice, Mistovia is a young studio that has already attracted attention for its multi-layered interiors.

The firm was crowned emerging interior designer of the year at the 2024 Dezeen Awards, celebrated for projects including another Warsaw apartment created as an "elaborate puzzle".
