Casiraghi
The Eye Travels

Paris-based Fabrizio Casiraghi relies on his world travels to guide his designs. “I find inspiration for my work through my memory of places I have visited,” Casiraghi says. “Grand museums, a tiny hole-in-the-wall bar in Stockholm, a house museum in Italy and an antiques shop on the Lower East Side of New York.” For a Miami living room, his recollections of the Villa Santo Sospir, in the South of France, curated by Jean Cocteau, was a conceptual starting point. Onto this, he layered, he says, “pieces from different eras, places, cultures, materials and colors, coming together to create an entirely new space.” Among those pieces were such 1stDibs finds as a pair of striking bas reliefs depicting mythological hunting scenes — which Casiraghi placed above custom consoles — along with 1930s French chairs, a 19th-century English table and a hand-embroidered Uzbek tapestry, set against a straw wallcovering, as in the Cocteau villa. The silk Josef Hoffmann chandelier is from Woka Gallery, where Casiraghi also found the dining room’s brass-and-silk Adolf Loos chandelier.
