"I went for a casual relaxed look, ignoring tools of symmetry. I think Paris is all about collecting. Funny enough, the flat didn't have a functioning kitchen; the flow was cut as the main bathroom opened into a corridor. I wanted to achieve a careless, cosy atmosphere, with no intended design as if pulled together by generations no agenda, no rules. A place where different people could clearly feel they are in Paris, and it is vibrant and different from any other place on Earth."
"Having beautiful historical bones, we were excited about using contemporary furniture and art, but we also shopped vintage as I can not imagine the project without it, she explains. The ten-month project timeline allowed for careful material sourcing and installation. Each element, from ornate lighting fixtures to comfortable seating, was selected to work within the apartment's flow between formal entertaining and private relaxation."
A seventh arrondissement apartment on Rue de Bourgogne uses travertine throughout, connecting geological history with contemporary design. The 1900 Haussmannian building's circular layout informed a material strategy that pairs stone with rattan furniture, dark woods, and upholstery in chenille, velvet, and boucle for varied tactility. The design prioritizes a casual, relaxed, asymmetric look that evokes a collected, multigenerational atmosphere. The flat originally lacked a functioning kitchen and had a bathroom opening onto a corridor, prompting interventions to restore flow while maintaining a careless, cosy feel. Contemporary furnishings mingle with vintage and inherited pieces, with a ten-month timeline for careful sourcing and installation.
