Completed between 2022 and 2023, the Villa Andy project transformed a residence in the beautiful Franciacorta region, in the province of Brescia, thanks in part to lighting by Creative Cables.
Coordinated by designer Luca Cassol (Instagram, Facebook), the project—demolition and complete reconstruction—was based on a vision of warmth, simplicity, and elegance. The clients, a couple in their forties, wanted a welcoming yet sophisticated space that celebrates natural materials like wood and stone, enhanced by unique details for a rustic chic aesthetic.
The spacious interiors include an 915-square-foot living and dining area and a 377-square-foot kitchen. The choice of flooring enhances each space: planed oak for the living areas and stone-effect tiles for the kitchen. Custom-made furniture and paneling in first-patina antique oak were treated with an eco-friendly blend of vegetable oils and waxes, while split local stone gives the walls depth and character.
Light that defines spaces: the living room
A large chandelier dominates the double-height space above the sofa, made up of 11 pendants with warm, diffused light bulbs, enclosed in sand-colored wire dome lampshades. Braided natural jute cords complete the composition, blending perfectly with the room’s tones and textures.
Above the dining table
To highlight the majestic cedar table (320x130 cm, made from a single slab), three pendant lamps with Harbor metal lampshades were installed. These precisely light the tabletop and cast a warm glow upward, enhancing the ceiling height.
