Flair: A timeless antiques

Via Margutta, you know, is the temple of artists and antique dealers. Lacked a touch of originality and modern. From a few weeks in the shadow of the balcony of Audrey Hepburn came a new tenant named Flair, "in honor of a glorious U.S. publication of the '50s, the international icon of taste and style - it underlines Paul Pots - building blocks of our philosophy. Flair was born in Florence by the idea Franco Mariotti and Alessandra Tabacchi, two creative people who have felt the need for something different in the market, in contrast to the cultural context of antiques and traditional decor. And so, besides the house parent of Lungarno Guicciardini, the shops were born in Milan, New York and Capri, always at the initiative of friends of Alexander and Franco, who wanted to take this taste outside the borders of Florence. And so I did here in Rome. "

Compared to antiques typical of the way, it is interesting to see the juxtaposition of furniture from various periods, mainly belonging to a period between the 40s and 70s of last century and of objects of a timeless classicism. "All recovered items through a great work of research - continues Vases - and in more difficult cases, restored or updated through a broad network of Florentine artisans with whom we work. Not taking account of all these particular elements, such as animal skins, say, not exactly conventional, parchment and GALUCHAT, such as plexiglass and rosewood worked damier or, as the fabrics such as tweed and Chevron UK, the flannels of masculine tailoring and printed silks of Italian couture of the '50s, used to sofas and armchairs, brought to new life by our actions.
We propose an idea of niche for people who like a certain idea of beauty and hope to fall in love thanks to the 'presentation' that we develop in our space. "

That is also the choice of where to open the store in Rome must not have been accidental. "No, absolutely - confirmation Vases - The idea of opening a store in Rome, it arose because for years we collaborate with architects and designers Romans, we are continuously move in the capital. And then I already knew well the way Margutta long , so it did not take long to find an area that I'm in love, and that I wanted at all costs, fortunately meeting of owners extremely sensitive to our issues.
