Precious terracotta flooring tiles, handmade in the Mantua area and worked in unconventional black and grey tones, are combined with an exclusive peach flower marble in a mat finish. Walnut battens in different shades are juxtaposed along the walls to soften the leather panels; chic green marble inserts and mirrored surfaces lend increased depth to the space.
