When the owners of this Porto Vita
condominium, located in Aventura, Fla., retained Lorenzo
B. Mollicone and Tony Ferchak to design the interior,
they asked the duo to incorporate many of their treasured
furnishings into the layout. In doing so, the designers
had to rethink the use of each piece to give the home
a personality all its own.
ABOVE & NEXT PAGE: In the bar
area, glass-topped wenge-wood shelves display the
owners’ collection of Baccarat glassware and
African masks. A sculpture by Sorel Etrog, “Knotted
Figure,” stands on the bar, which is also made
of wenge with an ash-wood base. The antique Japanese
screen to the left denotes the sitting area. Colored
in khaki and taupe with red and black accents, the
screen inspired the interior’s palette and Asian
sensibility.
