Turn your home into a haven of peace and well-being through design
- Inspired by Neolith’s concept for Casa Decor 2025, davidedavid studio reminds us that true beauty at home lies in its ability to reconnect us with what truly matters.
- Sensorial materials, enveloping tones and spaces with soul: this is how an emotional refuge that invites pause, silence, and wellbeing is built.
Peace. Silence. Calm. Three words that feel like a luxury today. In a world that never stops, home can become the place where we reconnect, rest, and simply breathe. More and more, people are seeking something beyond beauty or functionality in their personal spaces. They are looking for refuge—an atmosphere that embraces, comforts, and invites us to turn inward. This is exactly the type of experience that inspired Neolith’s proposal at Casa Decor 2025, “Pasaje Hacia el Interior del Alma,” brought to life by the studio davidedavid.

“Our aim was to create a space where emotions take precedence over functionality,” explain designers Davide Ridenti and David Pérez Fernández. And they’ve succeeded, creating a sensorial universe that is not only seen but felt. A space that reminds us that sometimes we don’t need to restructure our homes but rather restore calm within them through thoughtful design.
Disconnect to reconnect
Creating a refuge at home doesn’t require a full renovation, but rather an intention: to prioritize emotional resonance over aesthetics. That means rethinking how we use the space, the materials that surround us, what light comes through the window, and what sounds accompany our moments of pause.
In its proposal for Casa Decor 2025, davidedavid refers to the home as “the lost room where the soul comes before the physical.” That idea can be applied to our own spaces: a quiet reading nook, a bathroom designed to slow us down, a color palette that doesn’t shout, but whispers.
The key lies in balance: less visual noise, more sensorial harmony. “We are particularly interested in the creation of ‘air’ in architecture—that presence of emptiness,” the designers explain, highlighting the value of what is not seen but deeply felt. At home, this translates into more refined spaces, where each element has a purpose and leaves space for visual and mental rest.
When the matter stirs emotion
The materials we choose to define our homes play a vital role in creating a sense of well-being. Neolith’s sintered stone surfaces bring serenity, balance, and a connection to nature that feels almost therapeutic.

In Neolith space at Casa Decor 2025, models such as San Simone, Whitehaven, Niagara, and Cappadocia Sunset create a chapel-like ambiance: sober, intimate, and enveloping. “We selected a palette of neutral tones with strong personality, aligned with that sacred harmony we wanted to evoke,” say the davidedavid designers. That same effect can be achieved at home with soft surfaces, earthy tones, textures that invite touch, and materials that speak of permanence.
Inhabiting with intention
Turning a home into a peaceful sanctuary doesn’t require grand gestures, but conscious choices. Turning on a warm light at the end of the day, selecting a calming sound to accompany you, incorporating objects with a personal meaning… As the creators of the Neolith comment: “Architecture relaxes the body, design soothes the mind, and art nurtures the soul.” When these three layers align, the home becomes a haven of peace instead of being a mere stage.
“To us, the arch symbolizes passage and transformation. It’s universally recognized as a threshold between two worlds. That’s exactly the idea we wanted to convey, and above all, we wanted the space to be framed in an indeterminate future,” the architects explain.
“Pasaje hacia el interior del alma” is not just a space, but a reminder that we all need a place to pause. It could be a room, a corner, or a small gesture. What matters is that it brings us peace.
This installation will be open to visitors until Sunday, May 18 at the Sagasta building, located at Calle Sagasta, 33 (Madrid), in exhibition space number 22 on the first floor.
