This 430-Square-Foot Apartment Embraces Cartoon-Inspired Style
Briefly

Anthony Authié from Zyva Studio transformed a 430-square-foot apartment into a vibrant living space, inspired by late 1980s and 1990s animated films like Roger Rabbit. Given creative freedom by the owner, Authié crafted a neutral backdrop featuring concrete and plaster, enhancing the playful cartoon elements. Key features include a striking staircase painted in bold blue, bridging different levels while maintaining an airy feel. The apartment merges surreal and real-world aesthetics, reflecting a unique combination of design elements that invite delight and nostalgia.
The owner of this small 430-square-foot apartment, who works in events, truly gave me a free hand," says Anthony Authié, the head of Zyva Studio.
In interior design, it generates a kind of crazy contrast that makes you feel like you're watching a film. Suddenly, completely fantastic elements become part of the real world.
The staircase is the focal point of the project and the first element designed by the architect. This metal element is the bridge between two parts of the flat.
We are in a cartoon world, specifically the cartoons of the 1950s, with an aesthetic that the glass-block wall emphasizes.
