Alejandro Sticotti’s Buenos Aires abode

I was reading the current issue of Dwell magazine at Suzie’s last night and was taken by the home of Argentinean furniture designer, Alejandro Sticotti’s. Suzie and I travelled to Argentina and Brazil last year for six weeks and loved the East Coast of South America.

The thing that struck a cord with Argentina was that it felt ‘familiar’. Their architecture and landscapes felt very Australian and their homes have a very inside outside feel, mainly climate related, but also lifestyle. This house could belong easily anywhere in Australia.

Their collection of terracotta plants outside their bedroom was enviable. I loved the way the plants had been collected from cut offs from friends and family, walks and travels to create their own secret garden of succulents and cacti.

The modernist shelving systems by Alejandro, ‘Sticotti Collection’, featured in these photographs can be the can be purchased from Design within reach:
