In the serene abode of Mas de la Rose, which spans four centuries, Dantone Home responds to historical relics with contemporary design, making furniture not only objects but also a medium that connects The Times and touches memories. What this curatorial project presents is not only the new vitality of furniture in the 17th-century context, but also a deeper dialogue about "home" and "lifestyle" - about how to touch the past gently yet firmly with the posture of modern people and draw strength from it.

In the communication with the Dantone Home team, we witnessed that their understanding of "home" far exceeds the pursuit at the aesthetic level. "Home" is a space where one can be themselves again, a place that can carry personal history, emotions and values. Style is not a label but a continuous process of creation, correction and regeneration. They emphasize that when contemporary furniture is placed in ancient Spaces, it generates not only visual harmony but also a diachronic humanistic resonance - it invites people to weave their own stories into living Spaces and, in the dialogue with the past, find the foundation for building the future.

Imagine the gentle southern sun. Cicadas are singing, and the air is scented with thyme and basil. Follow a picturesque narrow path, and you will find yourself at your destination: Mas de la Rose, nestled in lush greenery. This complex of former 17th-century farm buildings is perched on a hillside, surrounded by olive trees, pines, holm oaks, and fragrant lavender. It is the quintessence of authentic Provence.

It was here that the curatorial project was born, in which the international furniture brand Dantone Home acted as a mediator in a dialogue between the 17th-century genius loci and contemporary design, between rural charm and timeless elegance. Step inside to discover historic interiors in a remarkable state of preservation: vaulted ceilings, arches, stone steps, spiral staircases, surfaces bearing the patina of time, antique floor tiles, and centuries-old beams.

The atmosphere is refined yet unpretentious, Provençal yet not folkloric. The hall is greeted with a voluminous sofa that, like a soft, tangible cloud, envelops you, offering instant relaxation and setting a contemplative mood. An abstract wall panel, elegant candlesticks, and the textured Lines console designed by James Patterson blend organically into the villa's 400-year-old ambiance.

In Provence, time flows differently. Here, you forget the hustle and bustle and begin to cherish every moment, finding beauty in the ordinary. The embodiment of absolute comfort is the corner sofa with soft curves that echo the fireplace portal in the living room. It invites you to slow down and embark on a mental journey with a book by a French classic, accompanied by the crackle of burning logs.

Reading the works of French philosophers becomes even more insightful in the lounge area by the fireplace under the vaulted ceiling. Here, the space itself tells a story, gathering diverse perspectives on form, material, and function from designers across the globe. The voices of the contemporary era — French designer Laura Grézard, creator of the Taormina armchair, and Swiss designer David Girelli, author of the Scoop floor lamp. This is an exploration of how works by international designers resonate with the genius loci without conceding to it in historical value.

The first rays of sunlight touch the bed's rounded headboard, mirroring the shape of the alcove. The Sonoma floor lamp with its woven shade maintains the space's authenticity, while the sleek City bedside table by James Patterson introduces a sense of order.

The Taormina outdoor furniture collection echoes the olive trees and metal shutters of the historic building. Bathed in the Provençal sunlight and amidst lush flowers, the series looks utterly poetic, as if created for this very setting, becoming an integral part of it.
