Set behind dense tropical planting in a residential quarter of Israel, this urban villa announces itself through a willingness to break the rules of polite material pairing. The interior, coordinated by Interni's Creative Team in close conversation with the owners, treats the project as a complete program rather than a furniture commission. Materials, color, finishes, and decorative pieces were specified together, in service of a brief the family articulated plainly: a residence that performs as a refuge from working life, equally suited to a quiet evening or a full house of guests.
The exterior is composed around water. An infinity pool sits at the back of the property with a raised whirlpool above it, and the covered patio acts as the principal outdoor room. Two B&B Italia Gio tables have been pushed together to extend across the space, accompanied by Kiti chairs from Paola Lenti's wickerwork program. A Ray Outdoor sofa from B&B Italia anchors a lounge area in a saturated light blue, the kind of color choice that would feel reckless in another house and lands here as the project's most confident decision. Prato Fiorito lamps by Exteta carry the atmosphere into the evening, and a round Tango table from Dedon completes the poolside composition.
The interior turns on a single architectural move: a winter garden, run through the center of the open plan like a glazed spine, that breaks the volume into two living territories without closing them off from one another. The dining area is organized around a Plinto table from Meridiani, more than three meters long, finished in petrol lacquer and surrounded by Mini Papilio chairs upholstered in Malva. Above, a Ceramic Falls chandelier by FG Art and Design pours down through the double-height void in a cascade of raku ceramic elements, the room's largest and most theatrical gesture.
Behind the dining area, Minotti takes the living room. The principal seating is a Freeman sofa in leather, designed by Rodolfo Dordoni, paired with a pair of Leslie armchairs in velvet that draw around a Calder Bronze occasional table and a square Ritter at the room's center. A bespoke Dibbets Diagonal carpet, also Minotti, grounds the composition. A Scarlett sofa by Poltrona Frau completes the seating.
A Laura Meroni Decor Boiserie wall in rosewood divides the living room from the office. Six Light Walls in burnished brass animate the boiserie's surface. The principal study is composed around the C.E.O. Cube desk by Poltrona Frau, with a Brief President armchair and an Eracle bookcase by Maxalto. A lounge corner picks up two Brooklyn armchairs in mandarin leather, also from Poltrona Frau, and Henge's Light Ring Horizontal supplies the overhead light.
The Family Room sits beyond the office, organized around the Édouard collection by B&B Italia and a freestanding television station lit by a pair of Cadmo LED lamps from Artemide. A metal spiral staircase with glass parapets leads to the first floor, in parallel with a small elevator. At the top, a hallway is composed around a B&B Italia Husk sofa upholstered in lobster velvet and a Play television cabinet by Cattelan Italia. The bedrooms follow, each given its own bath by Antonio Lupi, a walk-in dressing room by Misuraemme, a Randomito bookcase by MDF Italia, and the project's signature sleeping gesture: a Lullaby Due round bed by Poltrona Frau.
