Los Angeles Home of Giampiero Tagliaferri, the creative director of Oliver Peoples. The interior designer has several amazing interior design projects, but now he opens the doors of his home.
Giampiero Tagliaferri (left) could perfectly be an object lesson when we are talking about 20th-century Italian furniture and the bonds between Italian modernism and the mid-century modern movement. Tagliaferri is a treasure himself because he was born in Bergamo and spent several years in Milan. Working on the design and marketing strategy for Oliver Peoples. Right now, he works on his own and his home is a mirror of what he does and what he loves.
He says that “From the outside, the house has a strong Japanese vibe, like a ryokan. The glazing of the entryway almost feels like a shoji screen. But when you focus on the details, you see the unmistakable influence of Schindler and his contemporaries,”.
Within this home, you’ll find the wonders of Italian art, but also contemporary pieces, for example, ar collection of Lucio Fontana and Sonia Delaunay, plants and vessels by Jonathan Cross, Olivia Cognet, and Eric Roinestad. There are some American mid-century furnishings as well, by George Nelson or Oscar Niemeyer.
“I’m interested in the cross-currents of modernism that connect the work that evolved in Europe, South America, and the U.S. This house gave me the opportunity to explore the kinship and tension among these disparate places and eras, and the ways in which the light and landscape of Los Angeles create a specific context and sense of place,”
