Home Style... Eclectic and Elegant in Florence

I'm a sucker for a handful of things when it comes to interiors; a dark floor, amazing parquetry, a round dining table, a simple fireplace, a great chandelier, a bit of fornasetti, a simple contrasting palette... oh, and maybe living in a artfully inspiring old city like Florence!

This home belonging to fashion designer Raffaele Stella Brienza, pretty much covers the above list.  It's eclectic as it brings together elements of mid century clean lines in those armchairs in living room and the split level interiors; the chandelier/pendant over the dining table gives us a glam component; the exposed dark beams are quite rustic and medieval; the tribal rug grounds the sitting area in front of the fireplace, the fornasetti containers in the bathroom give us some style in a overall masculine space and then those books...  it's just so easy and simple when it comes together.

I wonder if it's for rent during holiday periods?
