Interior and exterior as one continuous living space

Interior – exterior: when living extends beyond walls

Today, living is no longer confined to the interior. Boundaries soften,
spaces open up, and the home enters into dialogue with its surroundings.

For several seasons now, a clear evolution has been taking shape:
living spaces are naturally extending outdoors. Terraces are becoming
true living rooms, objects move more freely, and design supports a new
way of living — more fluid, more open, more instinctive.At Dominique Rigo, this is not a passing trend.
It is a natural progression.

Interior and exterior as one continuous living space

Living somewhere today also means inhabiting what lies around it.

The line between inside and outside is becoming increasingly porous.
Furniture is no longer tied to a single setting. It adapts, moves and
responds to the way we live.

This approach is transforming our relationship with space:

  • More open living environments
  • Terraces conceived as fully fledged living spaces
  • Mobile and versatile objects
  • Light that follows the rhythm of the day

Design no longer divides. It connects.

Iconic design pieces without boundaries

Some objects embody this new way of living perfectly.
Timeless pieces that move effortlessly across spaces and seasons.

Bertoia Diamond Chair – Knoll

An airy steel wire structure that shapes space with remarkable lightness.
Since 1952, this design icon has retained the same rare elegance,
both indoors and outdoors.

element, somewhere between furniture and landscape.

Tip Ton RE – Vitra

A chair designed to support movement. Its subtle forward tilt encourages
a more active sitting posture, while its light and resilient form allows
it to move naturally between interior and exterior settings.

Light as a link between spaces

The transition between interior and exterior is not only expressed
through architecture or volume. It also happens through light.

In Vitro Unplugged – Flos

Portable and autonomous, this lamp extends the living space outdoors.
It creates a soft continuity between places. Light is no longer fixed.
It follows the way we live.

Lantern – Kartell

With its transparency and simplicity, Lantern integrates naturally into
different settings. From the indoor table to the outdoor terrace, it
diffuses a gentle and welcoming light.

Design no longer fixes objects in place. It frees them.

A home that feels more fluid and more alive

What we are witnessing today is more than an aesthetic shift.
It reflects a wider transformation in the way we live.

The home becomes an open and evolving place, able to adapt to seasons,
moments and uses. Inside and outside are no longer separated, but
brought into dialogue with one another.

“Today, the home begins indoors, but it is also lived outdoors.”

It is no longer about separating spaces. It is about connecting them.

Dominique Rigo and this evolving way of living

At Dominique Rigo, every project is approached through this vision:
creating spaces that speak to one another, selecting pieces that adapt
to changing uses, and imagining interiors that open naturally to the outside.

Because today, design does not stop at space.
It supports a way of life.
