A house for a collection.
The clients own one of the finest private collections of 18th-century French furniture. The brief was to create a home where those pieces could live — not as museum objects, but as part of daily life with three children and two dogs.
We restored the original walnut boiseries, reopened the enfilade and introduced a palette of oxblood, deep green and gold that changes through the day. Modern comfort — heating, lighting, sound — is invisible, integrated by our ateliers into panelling and furniture.
“Nothing should look new. Everything should feel cared for.”Hélène Verdane
