Danseuse (1950), a sculpture by Jacqueline Bex of Toulouse France hangs between matching midcentury Italian armchairs covered in wool. The Sunrise & Sunset brass tables by Design Artefatto for De Castelli hold a majolica vase by Dante Baldelli (1931), and a majolica head sculpture, both through Ceramiche Rometti. A small, lacquered elephant by G.Cacciapuoti from the 1920s adds a joyful touch. A hand-knotted wool rug from France, 1940 and an Efesto brass stool designed by Martinelli Venezia for De Castelli complete the picture.
