Designed by Carla Venosta & Marcello Pietrantoni in 1971, this striking interior features custom furnishings by the architects among various iconic designer pieces. Let’s dig in!

First off we have the stunning ‘Soriana’ lounge chairs by Tobia & Afra Scarpa next to an ‘Electra’ lamp by Giuliana Gramigna for Artemide.

Pictured above is the rare ‘Dilly Dally’ vanity designed by Luigi Massoni for Poltrona Frau in the 1960s.
