A journey through the images of some of the most fascinating residences designed by Paola Nicolucci. After, in some cases, seeking and discovering them, the Turinese interior designer transformed these houses into haute-couture tailored dresses, modelling them onto the needs of the homeowners and, at the same time, making their dreams come true. Functionality that meets aesthetics, perfect chromatic blends, the skilful combination of antique pieces and elements of the most innovative design, a careful selection of unique fabrics, the recovery – even cultural – of furnishing accessories dug up in some art shop off the beaten path.
All this – and much more – for one single principle: harmony. In describing her works, Paola Nicolucci often speaks about the environments as "our living room", "our terraces", "our kitchen", as if the houses were also a little bit hers. And, deep down, they are, so much was her passion for designing them.
