I'm loving the 1970s Italian chic of legendary designer Lino Sabattini's Bregnano home. Cool, clean and considered, the space has an arty minimalism that continues to feel fresh and relevant today. Get the look with similar items from Lee Stanton by shopping the galleries below.

All in the Family

All in the Family

The apple doesn't fall far from the tree...or at least, it's certainly the case with legendary photographer François Halard. His appreciation for interior and architectural composition clearly runs in the family. Here, in photographs he took of the home of his parents, Michelle and Yves Halard, one clearly sees the signature Halard flair at work. A free commingling of styles and textures creates a dynamic rhythm, yet feels pulled together by the striking yet livable use of color.

Rustic Reverie

Rustic Reverie

Amid the rolling, untouched landscape of Comminges, an ancient region of southern France nestled in the foothills of the Pyrenees, the home of collectors Robert Montagut and Philippe Estèbe inspires a relaxed, eclectic approach to design. The pair's rustic, monastic farmhouse is enlivened by their diverse collection of regional antiques and craftsmanship. From incredible artisanal pottery to centuries-old tapestries, the effect is an atmosphere that seems to exist outside of time.

Where Old World Meets New

Where Old World Meets New

 
I love the gallery-like quality of Peggy Guggenheim's Venice apartment, shot for Architectural Digest in 1979. Her collection of Modernist masterpieces contrasts beautifully with her spare edit of Renaissance and Baroque furniture.

La Bella Figura

La Bella Figura

 
Paolo Pejrone's Piedmont estate is a slice of paradise. High at the top of a mountain that overlooks the Po valley, the villa sits nestled among ancient olive groves, which the estate harvests to produce their much celebrated olive oil. The home, originally a 15th century military outpost, is full of the iconic landscape architect's personal flair. Ranging family heirlooms with finds brought back from his travels, Pejrone conjures an environment of old-world, bucolic bliss.

Private Idyll

Airy and eclectic, the home and studio of Swedish artist Olle Nyman is a lesson in rustic elegance. Located on his family's Stockholm archipelago estate, the converted gardener's cottage feels straight out of Bergman's Wild Strawberries. Get the look with similar items from Lee Stanton in the galleries below.

Style Spotlight: The Musée Bourdelle

Style Spotlight: The Musée Bourdelle

 
One of my very favorite places in the world is the Musée Bourdelle in Paris. Located in the 15th arrondissement, in the old studio of French sculptor Antoine Bourdelle, the museum is unlike any other. More than the turn-of-the-century artist's impressive work and collection of sculpture and architectural phenomena, the museum is unique for its dynamic approach to display. Foregrounding the three-dimensional drama of each piece, the curation achieves an interactive sense of theater and movement.

Calm and Collected

Calm and Collected

Serene and classic yet full of subtle irreverence, Billy Cotton's transformation of this 1930s Greek Revival Connecticut estate foregrounds the home's incredible natural light and lush surrounding gardens. Traditional pieces feel fresh in thoughtful, unfussy combinations that draw on connections of texture and tone.
