DANDY SELECT Portrait
Appreciating the rigor of design and quality, these urban folk have a very sharp sense of look. Their choices are well thought out, their objects well-selected, they prefer the “tried & true”. They like Italian design, a hotel room mood and noble, precious materials. They recreate a sort of men’s private, very decorative boudoir in their apartments.
