In times where we no longer have to live where we work, Mallorca
is more than a destination for just a few weeks in a year. This also
means that your personal place of longing becomes your new
home. Villa Bao, southwest of Palma, is one such second home,
with a lighting concept that is designed for and adaptable to indi-
vidual needs at any time.
As soon as you arrive in Villa Bao on Mallorca, you feel at home and
can enjoy the time, the view and the peaceful atmosphere. Nestled
in the hilly landscape of Son Vida, the three-storey house has a
view over the bay and the blue of the Mediterranean, as well as the
medieval castle of Castell de Bellver. The vertical elements of the ar-
chitecture are reminiscent of a baobab tree, firmly rooted in the earth
and everlasting. A dream setting. The stony colors harmonise with the
grey hues of the surroundings that are reflected in the interior design.
Natural materials and textures such as stone and walnut wood allow
the interior and exterior to merge. Inspired by the daylight of the
Mediterranean, Occhio has created an extraordinary home thanks to
a unique lighting concept. Warm and atmospheric – and therefore
instantly inviting. The lighting underlines the elegant flair of the villa
and conforms to the situation and the individual preferences of the
inhabitants. The Sento sospeso above the kitchen island ensures
perfect illumination for both cooking and eating.
Up- or downlighting can be selected as desired, and the height is
adjustable, too. The same is true of the Mito volo above the dining
table: in matt black, the pendant luminaires add a modern touch to
the interior. The light responds to simple gestures, allowing it to be
controlled freely. In contrast, the Sento lettura next to the reading
chair and Sento tavolo on the desk create private retreats for winding
down or working.
The window to the island. Your gaze wanders into the distance, your thoughts are focused. At the work-
place, Sento tavolo creates a harmonious connection between home and office. At the end of the day,
the light can be dimmed via gesture control. The Mito sfera mirror luminaire with infinitely dimmable color
temperature ensures that the occupants always appear in the best light.
