WP: "What is your most beloved room in your house and why?"
Gennaro: “The gallery, it is where ideas come to life and where we connect with creatives and clients over a coffee, which makes it the room I feel most attached to. It’s a second home for me. It has a lot of natural light and a calm atmosphere.
I’ve always been drawn to objects that carry emotion, memory and a sense of narrative. Moving into this former textile factory on Shacklewell Lane gave me the opportunity to create a space that reflects that philosophy: raw and layered, full of character, yet with the warmth and intimacy of a home. Here, you’ll find an intuitive, cross-period selection where contrast and unexpected dialogues between objects take centre stage. I want people to walk in and feel something immediate: curiosity, nostalgia, or even surprise.”
