Pilati, in collaboration with the architect and designer Bruno Caron, completely rearranges the apartment coordinating it fully with his lifestyle. The eclectic stylebut always sophisticated, reflects his personality revolutionary willing to face some risk in order to satisfy the stronger aspects of creation. The decor always insinuate a typical Italian inspiration always understood, and in fact the main suppliers of the designer is represented by the Milanese gallery Nilufar.
Pilati's passion for the combination of objects of many different styles is translated in a mix of works from all over the world and from different periods inside this apartment. In the television room a desk in the Louis XVI style supports a lamp made from a leg of zebra, the murals by Mathias Kiss and Olivier Piel made ??for the dining room represent an autumnal forest suitable for a classical mansion, but the designer has preferred not to was finished to make it look not too old school.

The doors in blue formica created in 1961 by Gio Ponti for the Hotel Parco dei Principi in Sorrento are exploited as a monochrome picture on the mauve walls of the closet room, while more than sixty appliques Charlotte Perriands were purchased by Nilufar to create a provision on the the ceiling of the living room.
