Villa Dolunay sits along the Aegean coast in the Turkish province of Muğla. The residence reads as a sculptural insertion into a lush landscape, with sea views available from nearly every position in the plan. Designed by Foster + Partners, the villa is defined by a substantial timber roof shaped in a continuous wave. The project takes its cues from the surrounding terrain: a palette of natural tones, stone, bronze, and oak refers back to the rock and sand of the nearby cliffs. Interni supported Foster + Partners on the selection of furnishings and finishes, in collaboration with architect Massimo Castagna.
The entrance is anchored by a motorized timber portal. The expansive glazing along the facade frames the sea beyond, while a limestone staircase descends to the open-plan living area on the principal level below. The dining zone is furnished with Exteta's Joint Dining Table in hand-burnished bronze and Feel-Good armchairs by Flexform; the lounge is anchored by the Let It Be fabric sofa by Poltrona Frau, Aston armchairs by Minotti, and an Assaya armchair by Poltrona Frau. Between the sofa and the chairs sits a composition of coffee tables of varying heights, with natural stone tops set on burnished metal frames.
In the dining room, a made-to-measure Oxymoron Table by Henge, designed by Massimo Castagna, anchors the space. The piece measures close to four meters in length and pairs a Forest Fusion solid wood top with a frame in brass burnished by hand using traditional techniques. The Teresa chairs by Ceccotti Collezioni are constructed on hand-built frames in American walnut. To separate the dining area from the living room, Henge produced for Interni, exclusively, a sideboard and a substantial bookcase designed by Foster + Partners. Both pieces are detailed in hand-burnished brass, with shelves and storage in solid wood.
Outside, an infinity pool extends the full width of the house. Several lounge zones are arranged around it, furnished almost entirely by Exteta: Caprera sofas with timber frames and fabric upholstery, Vieste armchairs with nubuck seats and solid wood frames, and Stone Round coffee tables in Italian Bardiglio marble. The pieces developed for this project later informed the brand's 10th collection, produced under the artistic direction of Massimo Castagna.
