Surrounded by fragrant maritime pines, the villa sits atop a small headland overlooking the <strong>Tyrrhenian Sea<\/strong> &#8211; a haven of tranquillity, bathed in the vivid hues of sea and sky, where time seems to slow down.<\/p>\n<p>Spread across two levels, <strong>Villa Calanova<\/strong> features a living room, a kitchen, two bedrooms, and two bathrooms, all thoughtfully designed to enhance the natural light and the authentic character of the island. Natural materials &#8211; particularly wood &#8211; and warm tones blend harmoniously with rustic furnishings and the contemporary design of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.staffedit.it\/en\/tag\/catellani-smith\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Catellani &amp; Smith<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0lighting.<\/p>\n<p>The lighting experience begins at the entrance with <strong>Lederam W1<\/strong> wall lamps, finished in elegant copper leaf. In the cozy ground-floor living area, <strong>CicloItalia<\/strong> floor lamp, in brass, and the striking <strong>Macchina della Luce<\/strong> &#8211; one of Catellani &amp; Smith\u2019s most iconic creations &#8211; set the tone. Suspended between art and design, this sculptural piece commands attention, not only for its generous size but also for the gold-coloured leaf that covers its three discs, casting a warm, enveloping light in the room. The kitchen, characterized by exposed wooden beams and a rustic stone oven, is lit by <strong>Lucenera<\/strong> <strong>503<\/strong> and by the hand-painted <strong>PostKrisi 51<\/strong> in white, suspended above the dining table.<\/p>\n<p>The <strong>CicloItalia<\/strong> wall lamp, with two flexible arms, illuminates the staircase leading to the upper level, which hosts two bedrooms and a bathroom.<\/p>\n<p>In the first bedroom overlooking the sea, the ambiance is both intimate and refined. On either side of the bed, two <strong>EC301<\/strong> wall lamps, with their clean, functional design, offer direct and comfortable light &#8211; ideal for evening reading. The space is further enhanced by the dramatic <strong>Lederam Manta<\/strong> pendant lamp, with its soft white shade and golden interior, adding a touch of elegance.<\/p>\n<p>In the second bedroom, a <strong>Turci\u00f9<\/strong> pendant lamp with nine flexible arms takes centre stage. On the nightstand it has been places a <strong>Lola<\/strong> table lamp, whose flexible arm allows for precise lighting adjustments to suit different needs.<\/p>\n<p>In the bathroom, above the washbasin unit, the minimal elegance of <strong>Light Stick<\/strong> in satin gold creates a delicate play of light and shadow on the wall, while a six flexible arms <strong>CicloItalia<\/strong> with a black base lights the shower area, enhancing the overall ambiance.<\/p>\n<p>Outside <strong>Villa Calanova<\/strong>, the magic continues. In the intimate covered patio, a cluster of suspended <strong>More<\/strong> lamps glows softly among the wooden beams, like luminous fruit hanging in mid-air, while the subtle radiance of <strong>Fil de Fer <\/strong>lights up the outdoor dining table.<\/p>\n<p>In front of the villa, a pine forest opens onto the sea\u2014a natural corridor leading to a secluded relaxation area immersed in greenery, made enchanting by two golden <strong>Fil de Fer <\/strong>floor lamps and by the ethereal <strong><em>Medous\u00ea<\/em><\/strong>. Here, amidst the scents of resin and sea breeze, nature becomes a stage for peace and beauty. As you walk through the vegetation, delicate lights &#8211; <strong>Syphasera<em>, <\/em>Syphasfera<em>, <\/em><\/strong>and <strong>Syphaduepassi<\/strong> &#8211; emerge like blossoms from the ground, infusing the landscape with a magical glow.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Credit:<\/p>\n<p>Project by Adriano Bacchella<\/p>\n<p>Photography by Nava Rapacchietta<\/p>\n<p><em>\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.catellanismith.com\/en\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Catellani &amp; Smith<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Villa Calanova enlightened by Catellani &amp; Smith \u00a0 A breathtaking landscape unfolds before the eyes at Villa Calanova, a charming retreat on Elba Island, recently renovated by photographer and interior designer Adriano Bacchella.
