Beauty calls to beauty, and in this small entrance space of the Fiermonte Museum, ancient walls coexist with works of art and contemporary furnishings. The imposing white plaster sculpture Harmonie II by Letourneur counterbalances the custom-made black steel desk (designed by Edmondo Scrimieri and Sandra Macculi), the orange steel Fit Bookcase, and the Rock4 lounge chairs designed by Marc Sadler, produced by da a Italia, an excellence of Apulian design.
