Albano Daminato
Wed, 27 May 2009
Clean lines, monochromatic, dramatic in its restraint and simply beautiful. The latest private residence by Albano Daminato (previously featured here). Design classics by Hans Wegner, Warren Platner, Eero Saarinen and Arne Jacobsen are combined with custom pieces and layered with the textures of oak, hand woven rugs and travertine stone adding depth to the monochromatic palette. Sometimes colour is just not necessary to make a statement.

Wow, love this gorgeous style!!
Loving the simplicity...
The second I saw the chairs in the first image I knew they were Hans Wegner. They have such distinctive lines...and I have one that you can see here:http://www.avolli.com/danish_modern_chairs_760
It is so nice to see how they have been used in such a clean and updated interior that has been expertly designed. The contrast between the monochromatic palette and the gorgeous wood tones are perfection.
Thanks so much for sharing this with us!

Wow. Great art collection. Great lamps.
the woodwork in this house is just gorgeous.
Swooning over all the mid-century modern pieces. Fantastic space!
Gorgeous space and spectacular photography, as well! Thanks for the inspiration!
You know what I call this?

i'm in love..
Does anyone where the chairs in the second picture are from? Or who designs/designed them? I bought four dining chairs recently with a similar look from a second-hand store.
Anna - those chairs are Platners. Lucky you to have found similar ones!
They're not quite as nice but they will do me! Just have to find a gorgeous fabric to redo the upholstery :)
Really beautiful interior and pictures. For those of you who love mid-century furniture
like me, there is this great site with overviews of several designers' works. For Wegner, see: http://www.deconet.com/decopedia/designer.action?id=1269
I really love the couch. Does anyone know who designed at or where I can find it?
