Architect Paolo Genta talks about his work with intOndo: his interior projects, which combine high-quality objects from different eras, reflect a free spirit and a refined eclectic taste, which is found in the pieces he loves to collect: “I purchase objects depending on the rooms I have to furnish, from antiques to works of contemporary art ”. Vintage furniture is a regular feature in his interiors projects, because “when an object is of quality, beauty characterizes it. As Oscar Wilde used to say, all good things belong to all ages."
