Looking as though a half crazed artist has just stormed out of this building in a creative frenzy, this hipster loft from B&B Italia is brimming with colorful imagination and eccentric flair. The red and purple passion spills out into the lounge area by way of an oversized L-shaped grape sofa and funky footstools.
