Restaurant developer and gallerist Einar Jone Rønning has not saved anything when he has completely renovated his apartment - not even the colors.

Two years ago, the gallerist moved into the fully renovated apartment from 1890 with his wife Siv Eline and his son of four years. All the rooms in the approximately 200 square meter apartment are painted in different shades, all matching, but each room is monochrome: Walls, ceilings, light switches, stucco and other details are dressed in the same tone.

- The process has been uncompromising. If I made a mistake, I kept my eyes open and said "tear it down", says Einar, which happened several times.

The color palette of the apartment was developed in collaboration with interior architect Heidi Pettersvold. Each room is painted monochrome and provides a wonderful, cavernous tranquility. In the living room, the brown-purple hue stands in sophisticated extension of the pink kitchen, while the fireplace in brass nods to the kitchen island in the same material and beautifully binds the rooms together. The chandelier in front is designed by Hans-Agne Jakobsson for Markaryd.

There is no lack of beautiful details in the apartment, and Andreas Engesvik's Bollo chair, here in gorgeous yellow velor, elegantly joins the list! The architect-designed fireplace in decorative brass is in fine dialogue with the sculptural lamp from Italy from the mid-1900s.

With two Finnish-designed sofas from the 1960s placed opposite each other in the middle of the room, the living room appears extra spacious and airy, which open doors out onto the balcony reinforces. The coffee tables in black mirror glass are designed and made by Siv Eline and Einar, and build beautifully under the Tetris principle in the kitchen decor in the room next door. The Panthella lamp is designed by Verner Panton and produced by Louis Poulsen, while the sideboard is a vintage 60's mini bar, taken over by a hotel.
