In Residence: Vincenzo De Cotiis

It's far more difficult to think of design for your home than for a client's house In my case it was very easy as it caters to my taste and Claudia's It's our home The house dates back to the 18th century I found it pretty much abandoned It had fallen into disuse My favorite room is perhaps the bedroom It's an area we spend a lot of our time I love things that have suffered through time any material, any object I like it having been weathered by time So the surfaces are never smooth, nor glazed Time corrodes It makes everything different Perfection is slippery to me I adore everything that is imperfect I love a blemished face better than the perfect human being No, I don't get attached to things, never To people, yes. Not to things
