bamboo and jute rugs to provide a
"handmade tactile" experience where the
rough combines with the smooth. "We
want people to stop thinking and start
feeling and truly seeing the world around
them," says the interior designer.
In this hidden gem that regularly hosts
yoga retreats, the vegetable and fruit
gardens complemented by a little farm
with ducks, chickens and pigs further
reinforce the authentic spirit of the place.
Several furniture and decor pieces were
custom made or personally sourced by
Ashby, such as the shelving unit around
the kitchen door with every separating
element handmade in ceramic; the
artwork above the sitting area in the
library corner and the blankets and
cushions in the rooms that the interior
designer brought from Morocco; the
vintage African bed bench in the living
area; and the bespoke tapestry in merino
wool above the sofa in the rooms; among
others.
"The beauty of Tenuta Negroamaro is
revealed through the details, materials
and textures," says Ashby, who focused
on a neutral and earthy color palette to
create harmony between the interiors
and exteriors. "It just gently shows itself
the longer you look at it."
