Sought-after simplicity

Here, the eclectic architect Mirco Cavallo performed a huge renovation project of an ancient farm building. The client's passion for art and culture has involved the interior design and accessories: there is a chair marking the modern design – an Eames Lounge Chair made of plywood and leather in the Sixties –, then some art deco sculptures made of bronze, stylised books to decorate the walls and no classic baseboard. This latter decision goes against the flow, but proves that sometimes real luxury lies in moderation. In the living area, the attention is captured by a suspended fireplace made of iron – a wonderful conical form in a central position, as if to counterbalance the soft nuances of the floors.
