Florentine Style

Florentine style draws from the unparalleled artistic and intellectual legacy of Florence, the birthplace of the Renaissance and home to some of the world's most extraordinary art and architecture. This design aesthetic reflects the Florentine values of scholarly refinement, artistic mastery, and elegant restraint, characterized by classical proportions, pietra dura stone inlay, richly tooled leather, dark wood furniture with architectural detailing, and a reverence for the relationship between art, craft, and intellectual life. Incorporating Florentine elements into modern interiors means creating spaces that honor the tradition of the cultured, artistically engaged life. A library or study is the quintessential Florentine room, featuring dark wood bookshelves, a substantial desk, tooled leather surfaces, and carefully displayed art objects. Pietra dura inlay, whether in a tabletop, decorative panel, or flooring, provides the signature Florentine decorative technique. The palette is refined and warm: deep mahogany, olive green, Florentine gold, and the warm stone tones of the Arno riverbanks. Every object should suggest intellectual curiosity and appreciation for fine craftsmanship.
