Classic French beauty—Bugatti-style—purrs, as early Gio Ponti on the outskirts of Paris meets majorelle YSL Marrakech cool. Quietly opulent Art Deco echoes crescendo in comely rounded corners—then staccato sensuously across North African tile, as rich-hued stone and walnut enjamb rattan and grasscloth. A dramatic whisper in the dark, a riotous simper in the light, The Villanelle romances dissonance into domestic poetry.
