life and other stories
A home is the life experience of its inhabitants whose stories, even the most secret
ones, are held in the rooms and interact with every element contained in them.
Theirs is a monologue made up of movement, actions, rituals, and moments
punctuated by corresponding, relative domestic time. To decorate a home means
to have a certain awareness of leaving traces of everyday life in the objects and
furnishings – an authentic immersion into the real, rather than an abstract process
of it. In an organized manner and with exquisite elegance, Tacchini provides
furnishings that are authentic icons of design, complemented by other, more recent
pieces, already possessed of unique timeless charisma and personality. And this
tasteful selection resonates with a space narrated by exquisite decorative terrazzo
flooring, vaulted frescoed ceilings, thick austere walls that allow light and colors
to penetrate through windows that seem to frame the outdoors. A vision of dwelling
in unpretentious beauty and uncomplicated opulence resides here – in a theatrical
setting where culture is also nobility of thought and every influence updates its
content and form. The photographs collected in this volume seem to be still shots
of film in motion: following one after another, now a step ahead, in sequences
of impressions that make you wonder what might happen in the next room, or just
behind the sofa. This ability to narrate is such that each individual, while perusing
these pages, can visualize themself watching a monologue of dwelling possibilities,
but also experiencing the emotions of navigating those spaces, and not just as
a spectator.
