This year, Cappelen Dimyr dresses the historic family home; Villa il Palazzetto in Monselice. Surrounded by the rolling hills of Veneto, the 17th-century villa — masterfully restored by Carlo and Tobia Scarpa—becomes an eclectic setting where heritage and contemporary art quietly converse.

The house was bought by the Businaro family already back in 1924, and has through generations grown to its current state.
In this timeless atmosphere, Cappelen Dimyr’s signature pieces partner with carefully curated contemporary designs. The villa’s terracotta floors, timeworn plaster walls, and bespoke iron details create a personal and warm dialogue with thick weaves, sculptural silhouettes, and earthy palettes.
The fusion between Scarpa's modernism and Cappelen Dimyr's handcrafted textures speaks to a shared ethos: an ode to thoughtful imperfection and the beauty of slowness.
Today, Federico Businaro, a professional furniture dealer, and his wife Natalia lives in the 8,600-square-foot villa. The couple is bringing the mansion to life with a perfectionist eye for interior and design, whilst filling it with warmth through friends, wine and Italian food.
The campaign becomes a quiet tribute to tactile living and understated luxury, where each piece gently settles into the layered history of Il Palazzetto.
