“A lot of people probably tell their clients what they want to hear, but from day one, we’re very, very honest,” he shared in a recent interview with AD Middle East. 

Edoardo’s passion for design is evident in his admiration for the “beauty of imperfection,” which he describes as “quiet luxury”. 

He believes that intentional imperfections in design have the power to “tell a story” and reflect “a part of its journey”. 

Since founding Banda in 2007 at the age of 23, Edoardo has overseen the design of approximately 300 luxury homes in London, with properties often selling for over £38 million. He considers his profession “a real privilege”.

In 2021, Princess Beatrice, 36, and Edoardo moved to a 19th-century farmhouse in the Cotswolds. 

Speaking from their historic home, Edoardo expressed his love for “old things that have been restored”.

He said: “I love [old] things that have been restored; human-made rather than machine-made – they’ve got soul, they’ve got energy. That’s got far more value.” 

Beatrice and Edoardo have decided to raise their young family outside of London. They purchased their £3.5 million Cotswolds farmhouse in 2021, complete with six bedrooms, a private swimming pool and on-site tennis courts.

They welcomed their first daughter, Sienna Elizabeth, in September 2021, and their second Athena in January. Edoardo also has a son, Christopher Woolf, known as “Wolfie,” from a previous relationship.
