In un attico nel cuore di Cremona la bellezza della diversità.

Come eclettici maghi, Roberta Pigazzi e Fausto Parizzi hanno dato vita all'incanto del design.

Dal teak del pavimento posato a spina di pesce, un classico senza

tempo che convive in armonia con tanti dettagli vintage, al legno

del soffitto a botte, dipinto in un delicato bianco-beige. Racchiusa

tra essi, la libertà dell open space.

Nessuna parete interrompe l'area living. Eppure ogni zona é ben definita, ricca d'arte e personalità

L'originale finestra rettangolare é evidenziata dalla carta da parati "tell me tilles" di Giò Pagani

che dà l'illusione di un revestimento in vecchie maioliche.

La carta da parati DESUS di Christian Benini (wall decò) fa da sfondo nell'area living al divano michel  di Antonio Citerio B&B Italia  in primo piano il pouf Bangkok  FLEXFORM

La cucina in acciaio italia (ARC LINEA)  é accesa dall'arancione del tavolo "container table 

10030" di Marcel Wanders.

Sedie GRAZ di Paola Navone (baxter) in pelle  tuscany lucca.

Lalique 

Lalique's early life was spent learning the methods of design and art he would use in his later life. At the age of two, his family moved to a suburb of Paris, but traveled to Ay for summer holidays. These trips influenced Lalique's later naturalistic glasswork. With the death of his father two years later, Lalique began working as an apprentice to goldsmithLouis Aucoc in Paris. He died 5 May 1945, Paris. René Lalique was buried in Père Lachaise Cemetery in Paris, France. His granddaughter, Marie Claude-Lalique (b. 1936), was also a glass maker. She died on April 14, 2003 in Fort Myers, Florida.

Art Nouveau jewellery designer

When he returned from England, he worked as a freelance artist, designing pieces of jewellery for French jewelers Cartier, Boucheron and others. In 1885, he opened his own business and designed and made his own jewellery and other glass pieces. By 1890, Lalique was recognized as one of France's foremost Art Nouveau jewellery designers; creating innovative pieces for Samuel Bing's new Paris shop, Maison de l'Art Nouveau. He went on to be one of the most famous in his field, his name synonymous with creativity, beauty and quality.

Glass maker

In the 1920s, he became noted for his work in the Art Deco style. He was responsible for the walls of lighted glass and elegant coloured glass columns which filled the dining room and "grand salon" of the SS Normandie and the interior fittings, cross, screens, reredos, font of St. Matthew's Church at Millbrook in Jersey  (Lalique's Glass Church). His earlier experiences in Ay were his defining influence in his later work. As a result, many of his jewelry pieces and vases showcase plants, flowers and flowing lines.
