Sober, classic elegance defines the vast entry hall in the West Hollywood residence of the late fashion designer Gustave Tassell, where T.H. Robsjohn-Gibbings’ iconic Klismos designs and Ancient Greek and Roman fragments and vessels float in stoic isolation. * From the page of fashion designer @ralphrucci * #gustavetassell #fashiondesinger #designershome #classicallyinspired #classicalfragments #antiquities #greekantiquities #ancientfragments #robsjohngibbings #throbsjohngibbings #klismos #classicalelegance #soberelegance #refined #classic #classichic #blackandwhiterooms #interiordesign https://www.instagram.com/p/Bs0SYiglICx/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=5lkbd4dx5b5r

The only evidence of the dining room at Villa Necchi Campiglio dating from Piero Portaluppi’s time is this one dating from 1935. Sometime after 1938, only three years after the sisters Necchi moved into the villa, they engaged Tomaso Buzzi, Milan’s in demand interior designer, to transform Portaluppi’s minimalist design into an evocation of patrician Milanese elegance through the lens of current fashion. Though the furniture and decor changed, the rich vellum sheathed walls and extraordinary stucco bas-relief ceiling decorated with exotic plants, stars and galleons remained. Out went the Michele Marelli-designed furniture and in came 18th-century-style furniture and chandelier, and tapestries made in Brussels in between the late 16th-and-early-17th centuries. #villanecchi #villanecchicampiglio #pieroportaluppi #tomasobuzzi #michelemarelli #parchmentwalls #basrelief #belgiantapestry #1930sdesign #artdeco #modernism #soberdesign #milandesign #iconicarchitecture #milaninteriors #milaneseinteriors #pastandpresent #beforeandafter #patriciantaste #soberelegance #luxuriousmaterials (at FAI - Villa Necchi Campiglio) https://www.instagram.com/p/BnRHFRXAY6m/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=17lnq2yx64t6m
