Ciao, cuties!Florence isn’t just a pretty postcard. It’s alive and full of texture, from sun-warmed stone and hand-painted frescoes to aged marble and layers of patina that tell their own stories. Every corner feels like a deeply layered mix of history, comfort, and craftsmanship that’s been loved for centuries.Each morning when I wander those cobblestone streets, I feel the heartbeat of the city under my feet. The stones are soft and uneven, worn smooth by time, and they remind me that real comfort isn’t about being perfect.
"It’s about being lived-in, layered, and full of character. All design details I love. And Florence has a special way of reminding us that timeless design always has a touch of warmth and authenticity."

Even the light here feels intentional. The way the morning sun hits those old facades turns simple stone into something magical. It’s such a good reminder that thoughtful design, like light itself, should make you feel something.And let’s talk about the Florence design details! The ironwork, the crumbling frescoes, the carved wooden doors, the figured marbles, the intricate tilework, and the crusty paint finishes all feel purposeful and human. It’s these touches that inspire me to design homes that invite you to slow down, feel grounded, and live beautifully.When I get inspired and design, I’m not trying to copy Florence. I’m channeling its spirit, that mix of history, beauty, and ease, into pieces that can live beautifully anywhere.
"Florence is rich with inspiration, and I can’t wait to show you the new collection that brings that same feeling to life!"
So tell me, when were you last there and what details of Florence speak to you? How would you bring that kind of timeless beauty into your own home…?
