Residential Apartment in Paris XVI ARR

One of the primary goals of this project was to renovate the apartment to align with the client’s preferences. Recently relocated to Paris for professional reasons, the apartment's owner acquired an old residence nestled in the 16th arrondissement. The property composed of a spacious living room, a dining room, a kitchen, one master bedroom, 2 bathrooms and an office space. The interior of the apartment carries eclectic & Art Deco elements with bespoke and custom-made furniture.
In the living room there are two built-in libraries and in the center a marble fireplace with a custom-made mirror above. The walls are painted in a soft ivory color. The natural oak parquet floor has a distinct pattern and in combination with the Tinos green marble skirting board makes a balanced contrast. There are two Tacchini “Julep” sofas and two iconic “Doron Hotel” armchairs with a travertine stone GamFratesi’s “Epic Table” for GUBI in front of the fireplace. On the other side of the living room there is a big central painting by the artist Johnny Abrahams, “Untitled”, with a custom-made marble sideboard and two wall lamps “Pamplona” on the sides by Dimoremilano. On the two sides of the sideboard, we placed two notable “Hill House I” chairs by Mackintosh in oil green velvet seat-cushion. The lights were very carefully selected so that they can blend harmoniously with the different materials and textures of the apartment. The outstanding central pendant light of the living room is the “Fiddlehead Cantilever” by Jason Miller and the brushed aluminum spots are “Park IV Sconce” by Workstead. On the back side of the sofas there is a black wooden bench with the vintage floor lamp by Paavo Tynell “9602” on the right. Between the living room and dining room there is a tall wooden custom-made double door with glass that connects the two rooms. The knobs are from the series of “ONE” by Piet Boon.
Transitioning to the dining area there is a big custom made light yellow with black lacquered dining table surrounded by a set of 8 iconic “Die Fledermaus” dining chairs by Josef Hoffmann, painted in white lacquered with oil green velvet seat-cushion. Behind the dining table we placed on the same style custom-made lacquered sideboard with Calacatta Viola marble on top. On the wall above the sideboard there is a printed photograph “Impermanence” by Maria Louiza Biri with two “Carmel” sconces on the sides by Magni Home Collection. The interesting architectural element in this room are the two niches that were covered with small rectangular mirrors and in front of them we placed two custom made tables for displaying antique vases. The central white cones chandelier above the dining table has designed by Miles Redd.
On the other side of the dining area, on the right, we see a small sitting area with two “Marte Lounge Chairs” with the well-known coffee table “Soda” by Yiannis Ghikas and above the beautiful painting by Rubeena Ratcliffe. On the left we have the “Coexist” bench designed by Slash Objects in Carrara marble & brushed nickel with the “Totem” floor lamp by Palefire and above the famous painting “Bird Flying” by A.Fassianos.
Flooring follows the same logic of contrast in the hall that connects the master bedroom with the dining room and the other spaces. In the master bedroom behind the bed the wall has covered with mirrors in a niche with a white marble headboard. In the 2 bathrooms we have beautiful different marble patterns in the floors that make the spaces unique and elegant. The kitchen has rectangular terrazzo tiles in combination with the inox island and kitchen cabinets and the white marble on top of the counter. The original configuration of the apartment had a second bedroom where now became the office space of the client.
The apartment was renovated and restored as a contemporary residence while maintaining its authentic features as the main structural division. The materials were curated with precision along with natural, light and raw materials and colors in order to achieve a harmonious aesthetic.
