Volume N° II - The Art of Inhabiting

No two homes are alike, yet every meaningful interior begins with the same gesture: the decision to shape everyday life with intention.

The second volume of Les Dedans follows that gesture across continents to observe how interiors are shaped by cultural imagination rather than geography. From a Manhattan gallery conceived as a work of art to a Balinese home carrying a distinctly Romanian sensibility, and a residence in Cannes defined by Mediterranean light, each project reveals inhabitation as a quiet negotiation between place, memory and way of living.

The issue extends beyond domestic space through conversations and visits that trace how culture is constructed in material form: the poetics of textiles with Marie-Séverine de Caraman Chimay, the dissolving boundary between architecture and object at the Fondazione Vincenzo De Cotiis in Venice, and reflections by artist Ciprian Mureșan on how art inhabits everyday environments. Across these perspectives, inhabiting appears not as style or typology, but as the ongoing act through which culture takes spatial form.
