The Magnolia is a luminous, art-filled penthouse in central Athens—the home of art lovers and collectors. Original works by Greek artists sit alongside carefully sourced antiques and iconic twentieth-century design. From the mahogany-lined library to the planted terrace, every room has its own character. Refined yet warm, The Magnolia is an intimate Athenian home shaped over time by art, books, music and travel. The space The Magnolia is a spacious two-bedroom penthouse arranged as a sequence of generous, individually composed rooms, each with its own atmosphere. The entrance hall sets the tone, bringing together Louis XV chairs, an English drum table and works by Greek artists.

Vico Magistretti’s Cassina Maralunga leather sofas are paired with a Mies van der Rohe coffee table, a French bergère and a carefully assembled collection of paintings and objects.
