A home that takes your breath away and makes your heart race at first glance. A project with contemporary, tactile appeal that reflects the energy and boldness of the owner, a former motorcycle racer. How would you describe your collaboration with ostiliomobili? Which aspects impressed you the most? A new building in the heart of Franciacorta with four apartments, and this is the home chosen by the owner, a former professional racer. The world of racing had to come through powerfully in the spirit of this home, because it was – and still is – the heartbeat of its owner. Grit and strong personality had to shine through every detail: the extensive selection of furnishings offered by ostiliomobili made it possible to have everything needed to create such a special setting, including the perfect stage for the quad bike that starred in memorable races and for the owner’s trophies. A true competition tackled like a winning team. How do you think the synergy between the architect and the furniture supplier can positively influence a project’s final outcome?

The owner’s racing background meant the client pursued perfection down to the smallest detail, with a need for premium, high-performance materials with a strong visual impact. Only close collaboration between the designer and the supplier makes it possible to hit such ambitious targets. What do you think of the furniture supply service offered by ostiliomobili?
