The interior spaces have their own sculptural language, with an openness indirectly inspired by Middle Eastern vaulted ceilings. Custom patterned flooring – such as the Sahara Noir marble inlaid into the oak boards in the entrance hall – draws on the client’s memories of her ancestral home, while the generous open-plan living space offers an immersive lounging experience. “Living Divani’s Extrasoft sofa by Piero Lissoni, upholstered in warm natural leather, was chosen for its ability to radiate in multiple directions, embracing views of the fireplace, kitchen and lake,” says Maznic, who selected other pieces notable for their shapely forms and rich colours, including Cassina’s abstract-patterned rugs and rust-red Utrecht armchairs, a one-of-a-kind wrapped timber bench, and a cascading Elementi pendant by De Padova that frames the monumental fireplace.
