In Their Room with Federica Fontana

Elegant, warm, and energetic are the adjectives that come to mind when thinking about Italian TV personality and model, Federica Fontana. Always put-together and comfortable with an almost maniacal attention to detail, Federica also expresses her personal style through her taste in home décor. She has created a fun and relaxing space for her children, with classic color schemes: blue for 5-year-old Noe and pink for 3-year-old Sofia. In her countless travels, a passion shared by the whole family, Federica’s favorite pastime is to collect one-of-a-kind pieces in markets and off-the-beaten-trail boutiques, with an eye towards art and design, “My husband and I love art and we think it’s very important to pass on our passion to the kids,” she says.
Inspired by the intersection of romance and modernity, Federica has created a delicate and curated space, where her kids can have fun and find refuge in. —Valentina Scambia

Not keen on being separated from her brother, Sofia now sleeps in Noe's room. Hence the crib in the corner

Shhh! Do not diturb, the prince and the princess sleep here

This piece by contemporaray artist Francesco de Molfetta is entitled "Un filo d'Aria", which literally means a "thread of air"

Both Noè and Sofia are very fond of stuffed animals, which are often souvenirs from their many trips around Europe and the world

This miniature version of the iconic Eames RAR rocking chair, produced by Vitra, is a testament to this family's love of design

This lamp, a childhood heirloom of Federica's, is now in her daughter's room.
