Giovanni, what room do you spend most of your time in at home?
I like to be in the kitchen!
The cheapest piece of which you are the most proud ?
I bargain hunted a white 50’s closet for a pittance. I love it so much that we fixed it on the kitchen wall.
The designer furniture you dream of?
The Serge Mouille 3 arm ceiling lamp.
Is it easy to reconcile family life and beautiful decor?

Where do you go when you are looking for a piece of furniture?
I like to bargain-hunt everywhere : from garage sales in France to antique dealers, not to forget travels and recycling. I also find treasures on the street!
Your latest crush?
A Piero Pizzi Cannella painting.
A restaurant you would recommend in Milan?
