The oral surgeon Paolo Castellarin is perched on a worn leather sofa in the apartment he shares with his husband, French luxury executive Didier Bonnin, discussing the dual nature of his identity. “In my job, I have to maintain a sense of formality, but when I take my lab coat off I don't want to be thought of as such a conventional person.”
By day, Castellarin can be found treating patients at a hospital in southern Milan, but in his spare time he has cultivated a flourishing second career as an interior designer. His client list thus far comprises a small cohort of trusted friends, but design is more than just a hobby for the doctor. In 2019, he took a year off from medicine to complete a master's degree in design at Milan's Politecnico University, allowing him to formally realize his longtime passion.
