A window to Italy

Concept

Living in Norway, I wanted something that could hold the Italian part of my soul while I was far from it. Inspired by the umbrella pines of the Italian countryside, I worked directly onto the plaster with wall paint, building up a scene that feels like dusk in Tuscany. Understated, vintage feel and a little dreamlike.

Result

The goal was never just decoration. It was to make the room feel like it had always been there. Like the wall had absorbed years of Italian summers and carried them here.

Working with texture and color restraint, the result is something that feels lived-in and considered. Not an ordinary room. A room with a story.
