Tang turns his attentions to bespoke Italian furniture
16/06/2014
Recently, in his House & Home column in the Financial Times, in which he answers readers’ questions about taste and style in car, hotel, home, restaurant and other interiors, Sir David turned his attention to yachts. “In the Mediterranean today there are bigger and bigger yachts, some resembling skyscrapers in height, others submarines in length,” he wrote.
And then, addressing the question of the yacht owners’ desire to flaunt their wealth, he added: “So long as this carries on (and there is no sign of it abating), Italy’s GDP will rise because it is the source of so much of the trashy bespoke furniture, especially leather, that is being commissioned for these new planes, yachts and houses. The Italian furniture fraternity must be having a field day ripping off all the Russian and Chinese billionaires. And good luck to them.”
