Economia 156 Havana for Wallpaper/Phaidon

Economia 156 Havana for Wallpaper/Phaidon

Economía is an elegant, meticulously restored townhouse apartment, blending classical antiquity with clean modern taste, and all modern amenities possible in Cuba. Airy high-ceilinged, timber-beamed rooms are arranged around a quiet interior courtyard, and feature a selection of antique and modern furniture. The tiled floors are reproductions of the originals, and the 110+ year-old ironwork and woodwork have been carefully and tastefully restored or reproduced. The open layout of the formal rooms, with a mix of old-style fans and air-conditioning will ensure comfort in the Havana heat, offering a place of repose away from the hustle-bustle of the old city. The walls are hung with the work of well-known Cuban painters, past and present, including a collection of Pedro Pablo Oliva.  The restoration was designed by one of the architects on the team restoring the Capitolio.
