VILLA ONIN, CALIFORNIA
Designed and constructed with an appreciation for the past, a mindset in the present, and a vision for the future, Villa Onin represents the opportunity to occupy a truly exceptional work of art while experiencing the finest in luxury living. This modern farmhouse by designer Jae Omar and architect Eran Gispan is located within the secluded enclave of Royal Oaks in the exclusive Encino neighborhood of Los Angeles. A curated selection of designs from the Molteni&C indoor and kitchen collections feature throughout the property.
Beginning on the exterior of the home, a traditional Japanese wood-burning process called ‘shou-sugi-ban’ has been implemented to create the beautiful charcoal-toned wooden facade alongside hand-applied plaster work for added depth and richness. Just past a serene water feature and 12-foot entry door, a double-height foyer features impressive book matched slabs of intricately selected marble, aptly referenced as the “Butterfly Pavilion.”
Continuing throughout the eight-bedroom and nine-bathroom home, Japanese-inspired design elements are woven throughout, both frankly and subtly referenced around every corner. Solid wide-plank oak flooring spans the home while narrow handcrafted oak screening is stretched across the heightened ceilings and walls, consequently camouflaging doorways, creating a sense of mystery and intrigue.

LOUISA COFFEE TABLE VINCENT VAN DUYSEN
Dual powder rooms take on individualistic design personalities. Dramatic walls of glass seamlessly blend the indoors with the outdoors, opening to a 65-foot infinity pool with an exquisite marble backdrop offset by a tranquil waterfall. Wood decking extends over the outdoor living and dining areas which feature a clustered boulder fireplace— all while taking in the lush grounds filled with expansive green landscaping, creating a truly private oasis.
Molteni&C took part in this project furnishing some of the common areas of the home, among which the entrance, where two Round D.154.5 armchairs, designed by Gio Ponti and part of the Heritage Collection, matched with the Louisa coffee table, designed by creative director Vincent Van Duysen, create a welcoming and intimate area in contrast with the high ceilings.

RATIO KITCHEN VINCENT VAN DUYSEN
The main kitchen, located on the ground level, is the Ratio model by Vincent Van Duysen. Highlighted by natural smoked elm cabinetry and elegant stone surfaces with an alluring leathered finish, the linear composition and the two majestic islands perfectly combine with the rest of the Molteni&C proposals. The back kitchen has a sleek and modern look, blending functionality and elegance.
The modern wine cellar has glass doors and walls that create a connection between the premium wine selection and the surrounding high-end furnishings. An ingenious opening system, the unique Molteni&C Sistema 7, divides the kitchen from the living area with a folding mechanism that enables the doors to be moved effortlessly and silently.
A spacious game room, functional gym, and resort-style spa, complete with steam room, sauna, walk-in whirlpool spa, and cold plunge pool, are accompanied by a state-of-the-art theatre, equipped for 15+ persons. Dual three-car garages and an extended driveway offer ample space. The 1.3-acre property includes a tennis court, bocce ball court, and basketball court, alongside a one-bedroom guest house, mimicking the stylized nature of the main home.

Le fauteuil Round D.154.5 de Gio Ponti est une icône visionnaire capturant un esprit d’innovation et moderniste. Avec sa forme révolutionnaire et ses matériaux novateurs, ce modèle, initialement créé en 1954, a marqué un tournant décisif dans la carrière de Gio Ponti, embrassant les nouvelles possibilités offertes par l’optimisme et les avancées technologiques de l’époque. Aujourd’hui réédité par Molteni&C, ce chef-d’œuvre emblématique est revisité avec une fidélité remarquable.
La collection de tables basses rondes et ovales Louisa imaginées par Vincent Van Duysen explore le dialogue entre matière et forme. Ici, le designer a choisi d’associer le bois au ciment pour obtenir une pièce maîtresse contemporaine qui allie, dans un contraste raffiné, légèreté et présence. Inspirée par les principes du design moderne, la création Louisa transforme les surfaces du quotidien en éléments sculpturaux qui subliment l’espace de vie.
La création Woody imaginée par Francesco Meda décline le langage conceptuel de la collection Woody en un tabouret empreint de finesse. Son nom est un clin d’œil à la continuité et à l’évolution. Cette pièce mise sur la simplicité de la collection tout en introduisant de nouvelles proportions adaptées aux assises surélevées. Avec ses lignes fluides et sa chaleur naturelle, ce tabouret, disposé autour d’un îlot de cuisine ou d’un bar animé, invite à la décontraction.
La cuisine Ratio, conçue par Vincent Van Duysen, se caractérise par un langage architectural précis, où les volumes vides et les éléments pleins s’harmonisent dans un équilibre soigneusement étudié. Ses portes ultra-fines de 13 mm et ses poignées intégrées contribuent à créer une composition empreinte de clarté, d’élégance et de cohérence structurelle.
