Details of the newly reimagined living room at our Lake Como project. Our goal was to restore the original footprint, which involved removing modern insertions, including a plaster fireplace that divided the grand room and a heavy black stone hearth, which disrupted the rhythm of the herringbone floors. We relocated the fireplace to its original location, creating a more functional seating area. The artwork is Ettore Spaletti, courtesy of Lia Rumma Gallery and Parks Art Advisory.
The vintage sofa, reupholstered in and draped in textiles, and the marble cocktail table were found at auction in Italy. The armchairs and vintage pink Murano lights were sourced from The rug is from our friends Atelier Fevreier. The colorful ceramic vase is from the artist Eglė Šimkus. The white ceramic clock resting on the stone windowsill is a family heirloom - one of my favorite pieces in the collection.

Dramatic original ironwork frames the newly renovated pool terrace and twilight view of Lake Como beyond. Vintage rattan Kalrskrona lounge chairs, designed by Karl Malmvell for Ikea, dot the lawn. When we discovered the chairs at Seconda Vita Vintage in nearby Como, it was a full-circle moment. I hauled a pair home from Ikea to my NYC rooftop in the early aughts and have been pining for them ever since I had to give them up.
