Modern and contemporary pieces mixed with vintage accessories and details that hark back to remote countries: you will agree with me that the most fascinating homes are a mix of different styles and ideas that manage to tell the story and character of their inhabitants. But how can this eclectic style be created without going overboard and giving it a truly authentic flavour?

When it comes to furnishing a home with a cosmopolitan style, there is nothing more fascinating than combining the beauty of local traditions with the adventure of travelling to faraway lands. For those who, like me, have an innate passion for textiles, this marriage becomes an opportunity to create a unique ambience full of history. Thanks to textiles - from drapes to tablecloths, carpets, cushions and much more - you can indeed give an exotic touch to the rooms of your home, with little expense and excellent results. Travelling around the world, I have had the good fortune to come across a myriad of textiles, each bearing a unique history and craftsmanship. In India, I was enchanted by finely embroidered antique clothes embellished with fragments of mirrors, while in Morocco, I discovered the fascinating art of rustic textiles made on a loom and dyed using ancient techniques. And what about the beautiful hand-painted lanterns of Vietnam, which tell of craftsmanship and tradition handed down from generation to generation?

Ikat fabrics

Over the years, the influence of these different weaving techniques has shaped my taste and creativity. So, this year I decided to bring the design of the Ikat back to life, reinterpreting it in a contemporary way and with colours that are closer to western aesthetics.

It was a personal challenge, but I was fully satisfied with the result. The Ikat, which once represented the exoticism of my adventures, was transformed into an elegant pattern, capable of enhancing the precious embroidered borders of the Eden tablecloth. Every time I set my table with that tablecloth, I feel that I am telling a story not only of my travels to faraway lands, but also of my love for tradition and the wonderful craftsmanship created by the expert hands of women over many generations. It is precisely this aspect that I love most in creating objects for the home: the ability to embody a culture and a philosophy of life rich in experiences and facets

I am convinced that many of my customers can recognise themselves in this philosophy, wishing to bring into their homes not only beautiful objects, but true tales of travel and tradition. This is why furnishing and decorating a home with a cosmopolitan style becomes a unique opportunity to express one's personality and to create a cosy and embracing environment, rich in history and emotions.
