The interiors she created to display a classical influence transformed, through the use of different fabrics, motifs, and materials. Moreover, in her eclectic atmospheres, bespoke accessories and curious details catch the onlookers’ attention. Further, totally immersed in her typical vision are some of her latest projects, such as La Gare. It’s a restaurant resembling a Parisian brasserie with her botanical and colorful decorations. Likewise, it exudes some traveling inspiration from Mediterranean coasts.
Cartier flagship store (Paris)

“My furniture is very “me”: everything is bespoke, you can choose the color of a chair, combine an endless number of fabrics on a fireside chair… The pieces in the collection will sit alongside one-off creations designed hand-in-hand with craftsmen, as well as vintage finds. Hunting for vintage pieces is another of my passions.”
