Imagine this: it’s Sunday morning and you’re at the terrace of a Tuscan villa, sipping tea… then the alarm goes off. You jolt awake and realize you’re in bed at home, a long way from Sicily and the island of Capri.

When you’re stuck in a rut, or maybe just waiting for the next free time to travel, you can simply embrace the Italian way of life at home (or any of the places you feel most at home and relaxed). You’re all about savoring simple pleasures, creating unforgettable moments and surrounding yourself with beauty and comfort.

Wellness advocates advice creating spaces where you can spend a few minutes a day in quiet reflection. What better way to do it than to recreate the rustic warmth of the countryside or the breezy vibes of the coast. Your scatter-back pillows and coordinating ottoman can take you on a road trip to Italy. Add your accent chairs and ceramic plastic vases that reimagine ancient Mediterranean amphoras, while taking cues from a 1930s Paris flea market find.

Your concrete table, with a high-gloss, light putty tidelike-style finish, takes its time-honored plaster technique with roots in Morocco. Meanwhile, the serveware and dinnerware in a glossy blue or sandy finish are inspired by the Italian coastline of the Mediterranean Sea.

More than objects of beauty, your home pieces are living mementos of the world you wish to inhabit. Their tactile depth, careful material choices and evocative silhouettes invite a multisensory dialogue between design and nature. Nature is not far away from your home as you choose pieces that serve a function yet bring in a sense of nature, culture and artistry.

And what better way to elevate your cooking as if you’re on a culinary escapade, whilst at home using innovations that delight all senses?

In the kitchen lies the rhythms of daily life and the personalities of those who use it.
