VILLA BORSANI

Those who ventured to Villa Borsani, a half-hour drive from Milan, were rewarded with a modernist dream of soaring ceilings, magnificent staircases, and exotic spring blooms. Creative director Ambra Medda curated a minimal but emotive intervention of textiles, fragrance, music and florals in this grand 1940s home, built by Italian architect Osvaldo Borsani, founder of the Tecno group. Titled Casa Libera!, the open home was the precursor to a show on Borsani’s work at Milan’s Triennale Design Museum, which runs through September 11.
