Project Description
Azeitona
Sixties flair on the Algarve
To design, manufacture and install a chandelier in a mediteranean beach villa of an international businessman sounds like a very nice experience. And seriously, it is.
A returning client presented us with a work of his Lissabon designer, a true 1960 filmstar villa right out of the movie in the perhaps most breathtaking corners of the Iberic peninsula.
We took up Christina’s initial concept and married it with the experience we gained from further developing the Bellsize Park concept from 2008.
The most memorizing experience though was the friendship and familiarity with Joao and his team during the three day installation in this amazing place in the midst of a vast and marvelous garden above the cliffs. Of course there was also a barbaque!
