An extensive millwork program based on one inch thick Honduras
mahogany was designed.
The background was right for furnishings. In went the leather upholstered
Landeau seating and Colonnato marble cocktail table, both designed
by Mario Bellini, Veranda seating by Vico Magistretti, Eileen Gray's
table and the pair of table up-lights, Taccia, by Achille and Piero
Castiglioni.
But not all is new. The dining table, a signed Lois XVI piece,
has been in the Gillett's possession for years as has a pair of
signed armchairs of the same period.
A 19th century French occasional table of fruitwood with ormolu
trimming, vintage Oriental rugs on restored oak flooring plus artwork
and accessories - indicative of personal tastes - complete the scheme.
