The Milan-based interior design and
architectural firm Studio Peregalli presents for the first time their
breathtaking environments that capture the classic elegance of the past. Studio
Peregalli is the master of making interiors look brilliantly timeworn. Partners
Laura Sartori Rimini and Roberto Peregalli have a distinctive ability to work
in virtually every historical style-from Renaissance to Victorian-to create
interiors that are atmospheric and magical, conjuring up a real or imagined
past.
The Invention of the Past profiles the
firm’s domestic and public projects, including residences for such leading
families as the Etros and the Zegnas. Organized by house elements-facades,
libraries, dining rooms, bedrooms, and other spaces-the book focuses on their
opulent and whimsical furnishings and old-world craftsmanship. Studio Peregalli
juxtaposes authentic works of a particular period with replicated pieces to
create an illusion that becomes something real and evocative. The book features
lush color photographs of their oeuvre, along with reproductions of drawings,
maquettes, and plaster models.
