Dolce Vita

Dolce VitaThe dolce vita of Fellini's landmark 1960 film remains an aspect of the Italian lifestyle today. With text by Italian journalist Cesare Cunaccia and more than 200 photos over 320 pages, this Assouline coffee table book celebrates Italy's timeless style and mindset.

This iconic portrait of her is almost painterly in its use of color

adding to the organic allure

which is soft enough to protect any treasures you place within

or flanking a bed to dial up the drama

With a graphic blue-and-mint-green geometric motif on the front and a solid black back

The soup bowls in the Playplates series by Laboratorio Paravicini are also zoetropes that create an animated illustration when spun

from artists' studios to private palaces

The varying widths of the zigzags add a sense of movement

and vetiver imbue a room with an inviting fresh scent

As with other diffusers from Baobab Collection

With notes of leather

from its historic landmarks to its cultural diversity
