Industrial style renovation of villa in Umbria by Paola Navone

Industrial Style Renovation-Paola Navone-01-1 Kindesign

This industrial style renovation has been carried out by designer Paola Navone, who transformed a 200-year-old factory into an inviting home in the ancient town of Spello, in east central Umbria, Italy. The designer was given a brief to turn an abandoned tobacco-drying plant that started life almost two centuries ago as a silkworm farm into a cosseting, appealing home.
