I have the pleasure of bringing you a stunning home tour, that just so happens to belong to my cousins.
We are all about festive atmosphere right now, but this interiors shows how that’s achievable without oversized and overtly bad design home decorations. Of course, the striking snow-covered panorama adds magic to the soothing ambient.
At the lower floor of a remarkable 16th century country house in Bergamo - Northern Italy, these rooms were once the peasant’s kitchen, the cows stable and the farm porch.
My architects colleagues will recognize the iconic pieces (MDF Italia bookshelf, Desalto table, Renzo Piano Riva Chairs, Artemide and Foscarini lights, etc.), but the truth is that Dario and Mari’s home embodies all that makes Italian homes so special. Historic details, natural material finishes, exposed structural elements, and always – always, gorgeous light. When you apply a few genius design choices, an Italian home can be hardly beat.
