Blends and balances

After studying at Politecnico di Milano, this Italian designer quickly established himself in Paris: his agency, founded just five years ago, already has a staff of eight. Last year his skyrocketing reputation brought him commissions for a townhouse and two apartments in Paris, one spanning 450 sq.m. (4,800 sq.ft.) in a tony Left Bank neighborhood and another across the river, in addition to a hotel in Greece. Esthetic. All are further proof of the appeal of his style, which never ceases to charm new clients with its balanced emphasis on the materials and the choice of sources, “With neither one overpowering the other,” as he puts it.
