What does your home represent for you ?
Family, warmth and security.
Your favourite architect or interior designer ?
My husband ! And Manfredi della Gherardesca, he has a very special taste ; both classical and cool, I would ask him to decorate my London home.
Your favourite hotel in the world ?
My home ! I live on the last floor of the Aman Resort in Venice. It is a hotel and it is my home : what more could I get ? I also love the Melenos-Lindos, where I sometimes go for a great escape.
Ultimate luxury or supreme elegance ?
Refinement and luxury is Patmos, Venice, Florence, Capalbio, the Acropolis in Lindos, it is the sea, the sunset, the Dolomites, the light, the open air, the perfumes, the time we manage to spend in a perfect moment and reaches our five senses.
Something of bad taste you secretly cannot resist to ?
I have so many but the worst… I love Ketchup on Spaghetti.
An object or piece of furniture that has always stayed with you ?
A small chair made of wood and wicker. I love it. I grew up with it in my childhood home and took it with me when I moved out at 18.
Have you found your soulmate in our collection ?
I would like to be like Gilles & Boissier’s Bricfur chair and live in a house at the heart of the Dolomites, made of wood and stone surrounded by endless trees. I would like to be placed in direction of the log fire in the evening and in direction of the rocks and mountains during the day to admire the changing light and disappearing colours.
I love Tristan Auer’s Tweed Armchair, it is STUPENDA !
I would like to be Gael Camu’s Paris desk with the floor plan of The Frari Church in Venice.
And I would like all of Michael Cailloux’s wallpapers and on my bedside table the G Lamp by Jérôme Faillant-Dumas.
