THIBAULT VAN DER STRAETE

A natural elegance tinted in rich earth-tones blankets Antonia Milano, where a special installation tributes Thibault Van Der Straete, a French designer living in Peru, who transforms vintage alpaca ponchos from the Peruvian Andes into one-of-a-kind home pieces. He also designs and produces handspun and handwoven cushions, throws, rugs and accessories that are neatly displayed throughout the store, fully highlighting the designer’s new and modern take on an ancient symbol of Peruvian culture. Deeply engaged with the country’s heritage, Van Der Straete’s selection blends a cozy, luxurious texture with a raw edge in tan, ivory and dark cocoa, making each one perfect for the winter season and for the upcoming festivities.
