HI, I’M GRAZIELLA
I'm an interior designer, and Casette is my studio in the Aosta Valley.
I spent over fifteen years in design, many of them in London, before moving to the mountains on purpose. I have a Master's in Interior Design, and a long-held belief that a home should be true to its building, its materials, and above all to the person living inside it. Not a statement of taste, not a reflection of a trend.
I started Casette because I couldn't find anyone here designing mountain homes that felt considered, crafted and a little unexpected. So now I do it, for a small number of clients each year, most of whom live somewhere else and want a place here that feels entirely their own.
When I'm not designing, I'm usually running somewhere in the mountains.
WHAT I BELIEVE
It starts with you, not a style
Every project begins with a conversation about life: how you'll use the house, what you've loved and what hasn't worked, what you want to feel when you arrive. I design for the person who actually lives there, not an idealised version of them.
Then it starts with the building
Every building has a history and an atmosphere. Before suggesting anything, I listen to what it already knows and design something that belongs there.
I bring the ideas
Send me everything you've saved; I'll use it to understand what you love, then come back with a design for the whole home, often with ideas you wouldn't have found on your own. We refine it together until it feels right.
Layers over statement
A vintage find beside a custom piece, rough stone against soft linen. I source from antique markets and local artisans, and I'd rather wait for something irreplaceable than settle for something convenient.
Built to last
I design for the decade, not the photograph, with materials that deepen with time rather than date. Once the design is settled, I document everything clearly, so the home that gets built is exactly the one you saw.
