Loro PianaWhat are your tips for incorporating pieces with a lot of personality into your space?
I can answer from a Loro Piana Interiors perspective. We consider the pieces that you can see on display here in Aspen, pieces with a lot of personality. The Palm Duet Chaise Longue, which can be considered in between a sculpture and a piece of furniture, or the Bul-Bo Soft lamp (pictured above) or even our Ginza furniture, all these pieces have their own personality in terms of lines, colors, and materials. But they have also pure lines—either geometric, square (as in the Ginza furniture), or sinuous (as in the Palm Duet or in the Bul-Bo). This purity makes the objects quite versatile and at ease in different contexts. We have brought the Ginza furniture on board yachts, into very contemporary homes, and even into classic rooms. They are so neat, so essential in their shapes, that it is very easy to fit them; much depends on the upholstery. Even the Palm Duet, with its perfect proportions and its softness, can be at ease in a bedroom, in a sitting room, everywhere you want to create a corner of pleasure and relaxation. The Bul-Bo is an iconic design piece. It can be considered an art piece. It is also joyful, informal, and very versatile.
