In the study, the rattan rocking armchair is a production of Castano modified in the design by Rogers himself; on the table: pipes, scissors, flowers, glasses and magazines.

The entrance is a small room with two walls covered with sliding mats (Madagascar mats) which mask the compartments in the wall; three tray shelves in curved Finnish birch plywood are hung on black hemp ribbons against a wall, and carry three paintings (by Capogrossi, Calder, Simonetta Vigevani Jung) and a Japanese lamp by lsamu Noguchi.
