Among the most striking pieces in the house is a 1970s Nero Patrussi cabinet fronted by intricately carved wooden panels. It sets an an earthy tone for the living room’s other standouts to play off of, including a brass console and a geometric alabaster lamp, both from Flair Edition, a 1970s French green resin sculpture and an abstract painting by Olimpia
Benini. As in the living room, almost every vignette in the house pays homage to the harmonies of
art and design. In the dining room, Hans J. Wegner chairs coexist with a 1971 metal sculpture by
Roger Desserprit. In the studio, a pair of photographs by Lakin Ogunbanwo found in a gallery in Cape
Town brighten one side of the space, while on the other, a fireplace made from Guatemalan green
marble cools an optical artwork by Ivano Fabbri, among the artisans whose works are offered by Flair.
And in the bedroom, that yellow Dedar silk headboard plays well with parchment bedside tables
and alabaster lamps designed by Flair, a 1950s painting by an anonymous French artist, Gilles Caffier
ceramic vases and a dizzying photograph by Regina Barroso, another artist represented by Flair. The
couple’s home is a natural extension of the gallery, a mise-en-scène of design with a penchant for
drama. Flair, flair.it; Massimo Adario Architetto, massimoadario.com
