HOSPITALITY
AND LOVE OF BEAUTY
The Droulers style features materials and details that make spaces and places timeless. The projects are contemporary, even when they redefine forms and lines that have shaped the past. Nathalie and Virginie pay particular attention to space and light, always in pursuit of the perfect balance between the various elements and the customer’s needs, because a project should be like a suit cut to fit.
Nathalie works on defining spaces and creating volumes while Virginie focuses on details, finishes and ornaments to decorate spaces. A teamwork that begins from defining the tasks of all the people involved in the project, starting from the suppliers.
Specialists in Italian handmade furniture and decorations, suppliers are considered as partners who, working with the studio, showcase across the globe top Italian know-how, experiments on new and old materials, the relentless pursuit of perfection as well as the uniqueness of the human gesture.
