Completed between 2022 and 2023, the Villa Andy project revitalized a residential property in the breathtaking Franciacorta region of Brescia, with Creative Cables lighting playing a key role in its transformation.
Spearheaded by designer Luca Cassol (Instagram, Facebook), the renovation—a complete demolition and reconstruction—embraces a vision of warmth, simplicity, and understated elegance. The clients, a couple in their 40s, envisioned a cozy yet sophisticated home that highlights natural materials like wood and stone, enhanced with unique details to create a Rustic Chic aesthetic.
The expansive interiors include a spacious 915-square-foot open-plan living and dining area and a 375-square-foot kitchen. Flooring choices were carefully selected to enhance each space: planed oak adds warmth to the living areas, while stone-effect tiles lend durability and character to the kitchen. Custom furniture and paneling, crafted from reclaimed first-patina antique oak, were treated with an eco-friendly blend of vegetable oils and waxes for a sustainable finish. Split local stone was used on the walls, adding texture and visual depth to the overall design.
Lighting that elevates every space: Living Area
Imagine a dramatic chandelier hanging in the double-height space above the sofa, a centerpiece of elegance and warmth. The design features 11 pendant lamps, each with soft, warm bulbs nestled within sandy-colored wire dome shades. These shades are paired with natural jute braided cords, adding an organic touch that complements the earthy tones and textures of the room. The result is a harmonious blend of rustic charm and contemporary sophistication, tying the space together with a warm, inviting glow.
Above the dining table
To accentuate the stunning cedar dining table—measuring 126 x 51 inches and crafted from a single slab—three pendant lamps with sleek black metal shades (Harbor model) were installed. These lights provide focused illumination on the table's surface while casting a warm, upward glow that enhances the double-height ceiling, creating a perfect blend of functionality and ambiance.
