Sitting in the Tortona district — a magnet for Milan's creative set, especially during Fashion Week or Design Week — this home fully reflects its surroundings. The Lago Design pieces give it a unique touch, as well as a cosy and homely feel, especially the suspended round-shaped bed in the master bedroom. The bold coloured walls and mix of modern style with antique elements make for a characterful interior, while the sunken bathtub adds that extra level of comfort. Whether you're relaxing in the living room with a good book or powering through work in the dedicated office space, expect to find a bright and uplifting spot, benefitting from curated plants and thoughtful furnishings. Bookmark any day by sipping sundown drinks on your private balcony, offering skyline views over the city. Outside, shop-till-you-drop in Zona Tortona (five-minute walk) or take a thirty minutes stroll to the iconic Duomo di Milano for a taste of culture.
