The Bite Magazine - Autumn/Winter 2021 - Issue 30

THE LUXURY OF SAINT TROPEZ IN AWONDERFUL HOUSE bitelifestyle in the same collection. The Virna Armchair is a ge- ometric, triangular-shaped piece of furniture with straight lines. The backrest has a perfect slope to en- sure comfort and maintain the correct posture while the wood and gold-plated steel finish give it a more refined touch and the fabric a more comfortable and cosier feel. Mina is inspired by Turin in northern Italy, a city of exquisite architecture and gastronomy. It is further inspired by the Palazzo del Lavoro by Pier Luigi Ner- vi and Gio Ponti, a stylised plant with a round heart shape with the arms rising like golden branches. The golden colours mark this bathroom’s contrast with the marble walls in shades of black, highlighting the chandelier even more, and creating a greater impact. Additionally, it’s fully functional giving the light the capacity of illuminating the space. Nino Centre Table presents identical characteristics to the Virna with its triangular shape and straight lines. Its composition in dark wood and glass rep- resents the inspiration from the mid-century, a time when beauty was in the simplicity of things, but in a more minimalist style. Whilst the bathroom is inside the bedroom, it is separated by a beautiful wall with an integrated transparent fireplace that serves both the bedroom and bathroom. It has a showy bathtub, several lighting points and a Giulietta Screen. The huge dining room is truly inspiring and set in the same space as the kitchen and living room. The Alberto Table makes you want to serve a delectable dinner, accompanied by Federico Chairs in their unique ‘50s patterns on the upholstery, with walnut wood legs and an L-shaped black lacquered frame. This beautiful piece is a tribute to Federico Fellini, one of Italy’s finest directors and screenwriters, known for his distinctive style, a blend of fantasy and baroque imagery with horror. According to Carlo Donati, this unique partnership with Essential Home was “a challenge I took with enthusiasm because it allowed me to work on one of my favourite styles and moods which is the mid-cen- tury modern reloaded with new cues and materials.” Inspired by the iconic modernist movement in ar- chitecture and design of the great ‘50s and ‘60s mas- ters, these unique pieces are a fantastic way to add a touch of style and history to your decor. https://essentialhome.eu Images courtesy of Essential Home
