Italian term
Italy
continuità d\'ambiente
Con il termine "boiseries" s'indica un rivestimento delle pareti effettuato con pannelli di legno variamente intarsiati, incisi e intagliati. Questa tecnica di decorazione, già in uso nel tardo Medioevo, fu in seguito ripresa nella Francia del XVII e XVIII secolo per arricchire residenze lussuose, ville signorili e palazzi nobiliari. La tradizione antica delle boiserie oggi si unisce alle ultime tendenze del design per valorizzare gli interni e creare ambienti accoglienti e raffinati. Con XXXX il pavimento diventa rivestimento creando una continuità d’ambiente unica nel suo genere.
Could we say here: "With XXXX parquet flooring becomes a unique covering creating continuity throughout the entire environment which is the only one of its kind". ?
