Inside Hotel Masse: A Collaborative Interior in Pigalle, Paris

"At Hotel Massé, the interiors tell a collective story. Housed in a Haussmannian building near Place Pigalle, the 40-room hotel-spread over six floors-was imaged by siblings Éole and Corto Peyron as a deliberately collaborative project. Rather than collapsing ideas into a blueprint executed in house, they invited a wide circle of architects, designers, artists, and suppliers to contribute distinct pieces. The result is a hotel with a strong sense of personality, shaped less by trend than by the collection of many considered hands."

"Designed by Juliette Gasparetto and Julie Parenti of Gasparetto Parenti, who both trained at Festen Architecture, the rooms are intended to be lived in like a local apartment. No two are alike. Burgundy corridors give way to light-filled spaces with balconies, okoumé wood, and maritime pine, furnished with custom pieces by the architects alongside vintage furniture, velvet seating, and 1970s-style carpeting. Here, we walk through the hotel profiling the details and naming the artist/designer behind each."

Above: Working in reclaimed and recycled wood, cabinetmaker Alexis Mazin created custom tables, closets, and headboards/built-ins for the hotel.

Hotel Massé occupies a Haussmannian building near Place Pigalle and comprises 40 rooms spread across six floors, realized through a deliberately collaborative design approach. A wide circle of architects, designers, artists, and suppliers each contributed distinct elements, producing spaces with strong personality rather than trend-driven uniformity. Gasparetto Parenti designed rooms to feel like local apartments, with burgundy corridors, light-filled rooms, balconies, okoumé wood, maritime pine, custom furnishings, vintage pieces, velvet seating, and 1970s-style carpeting. Craftspeople such as Alexis Mazin produced reclaimed-wood tables and built-ins, while Studio Olivier Guyot contributed architectural fittings and antiques galleries supplied decorative lighting and sofas.
