A BREATH OF FRESH AIR - ARIA VENTILATORI

That cold winter's day in Florence many years ago feels a lifetime away-yet on that freezing cold day in the limonaia at the Giardino Torrigiani I looked up and saw it! The most beautiful ceiling fan in the world! That very day I became obsessed- was it antique? NO!! It's Italian! It was new! Where do I get one? How can I get it to America? We have to have it!


So here we are seven years later after three years getting it here, several "research and development" trips later (of course we HAVE to to to Capri to see it installed!), and a crash course in technical things I NEVER intended to learn EVER.....


There are now Aria Ventilatori fans installed in projects spanning the globe-una brezza bella italiana. Mille grazie to my dear friend Joanne Sims (the one REALLY responsible for all things Aria) for her diligence and never-ending attention to every detail and to all the fans of our fans everywhere!

THE BEAUTIFUL MICHELE BONAN

The first time I walked into JK Place in Florence in 2003 I was smitten! They had just opened and I fell madly in love with every single detail on that exquisite property-the architecture and interiors done by Florence based Michele Bonan. A few years later I was in Capri and at the very top of my list of "must sees" was the new JK Place Capri, again by Michele. I was over the edge! To be a guest at either property is much akin to a weekend in a dear friend's country house. They are just that intimate and no detail has been overlooked. In my opinion, they set the bar, and a very high bar at that.
Michele Bonan is brilliant-a tour de force behind some very special properties, two others being the Heidelberg Suites and the Palazzo Tornabuoni. Timeless, classic and utterly elegant- I never tire of looking at his work!
