A painted silk panel by Elena Carozzi takes centre stage. Much of the furniture is mid-century pieces reupholstered in beautiful velvets.

SITTING ROOM

When open, the doors of the display cabinet lay flat against the rosewood panels and their painted silk fabric lining becomes an artwork in itself.

KITCHEN

The island features an acid-etched metal finish. The effect chimes with the clouds in the whimsical wallpaper.
