Opulence in subtraction
Few, but significant, furnishings are enough to inhabit a 17th century house restored to its former glory. If the majestic coffered ceiling dominates the white living room, it is the a ‘stua’, covered in ’embroidered’, Swiss stone pine and pervaded by the scent of wood, that hosts the sleeping area
