home truths

MOST TREASURED POSSESSION?

Our curved sofa sets the tone. The minute we put it in place, we felt we were really at home. There’s just something about the shape of it – structured yet informal.

LAST THING YOU BOUGHT?

A 1960s maxi wall shelf, originally designed by Aldo Tura for his Milan apartment.

PROJECT SUCCESS?

The almost invisible inset cabinetry in the kitchen and preserving original features.

TO-DIE-FOR BRAND?

More than brands, I’d say designers or artists – anyone from Carlo Scarpa to Carlos Cruz-diez have inspired us and influenced our design choices.

ON YOUR COFFEE TABLE IS…

A collection of Alvar Aalto Savoy vases and a contemporary sculpture/vase by Sara Ricciardi. But since the table is very fragile, the actual fun is under the table where we keep a vast collection of books, including a Charlotte Perriand memoir and Carlos Mota’s Beige is Not a Color.

LAST TRIP?

Just the other weekend we went to an antiques fair in Arezzo. We’re always on the hunt for antiques and vintage pieces – we love to find designs that speak to us and remind us of a moment in time.
