A high-end bespoke creation

This project is perfectly in tune with the spirit of the neighbourhood. Fine materials and artisanal finishes lie at the heart of the design. The original-style wooden gueule-de-loup windows, crafted by Maison Jeannau, bring undeniable elegance while flooding the apartment with natural light. On the walls, a subtle and refined silk-fibre wallpaper enhances the charm of the mouldings. Dark oak herringbone parquet visually expands the space while preserving its timeless Parisian character. Bespoke woodwork adds depth and individuality, complemented by a palette of dark, masculine tones that feels both understated and warm.

The iconic detail

Designed in collaboration with Samji, the kitchen worktop was custom-cut into a bold, sculptural shape. Inspired directly by the neighbourhood’s art galleries and antique dealers’ workshops, this bespoke creation gives the space a truly distinctive character.

Saint-Germain-des-Prés

Few Parisian neighbourhoods combine prestige, culture and exclusivity quite like Saint-Germain-des-Prés. The historic heart of intellectual and artistic Paris, it has attracted generations of writers, painters and philosophers, from Sartre to Picasso. Today, its cobbled streets, historic bookshops and intimate art galleries continue to make it a world of its own, where every corner reveals a piece of the capital’s history. With its legendary cafés, renowned antique dealers and luxury boutiques, Saint-Germain remains a timeless address, coveted by aesthetes and lovers of the Parisian art of living.
