Born and raised in Rome, Alessandra Branca approaches design with an Italian spirit, where everything effortlessly goes together and looks confidently beautiful. That talent comes through in the homes she’s created and with Casa Branca, her line of fabrics, furniture, wallpaper, and more.
For this sunroom, conceived around a Jonas Wood canvas, she’s blended natural materials and vivacious patterns with furniture from multiple periods and styles. “The first time I saw Jonas Wood’s artwork was at Saatchi Gallery in London when he was a new, young artist,” says Branca. “I loved that they were interiors done in this incredible midcentury-inspired way and how artistically they were presented.”

“Jonas Wood’s work is a celebration of light. I’m drawn to his amazing colors and attention to detail”
