Do it with Flair
Nestled within a Florentine palazzo—once the cherished residence of Napoléon I’s younger sibling—a breathtaking architectural narrative unfolds along the storied Lungarno Corsini. The interior space presents a mesmerising dialogue between aesthetic traditions: elaborate French Gothic Revival mouldings cascade across walls, their intricate contours a sublime counterpoint to Florence’s hallowed Renaissance architectural milieu.
This remarkable dwelling serves as a curated sanctuary, meticulously assembled by Alessandra Tabacchi and Franco Mariotti, the visionary founders of FLAIR. United by a profound passion for design, this husband-and-wife team have transformed the space into a sophisticated tableau, where vintage furniture, austere Brutalist sculptures, and contemporary art pieces coexist in exquisite harmony. Their collection particularly celebrates the elegant craftsmanship of French decorative arts from the luminous decade of the 1920s, each carefully selected piece narrating its rich, aesthetic history.
The result is a living canvas that transcends mere decoration—a testament to the couple’s discerning eye and ability to weave disparate design languages into a cohesive, compelling narrative.
