Husband and wife duo Demetrio Zanetti and Veruska Gennari handpick the vintage and contemporary furniture they showcases at their gallery Demos Mobilia in Chiasso, Switzerland, one of the largest design shops in Europe. Not surprisingly, their own home, located in the Swiss-Italian city of Lugano, is filled with a glamorous mix of old and new. We’re particularly intrigued by their chandelier-lit eat-in kitchen. Get the look with the following elements.
