INSPIRED BY | Louis Henri

T

he latest project of London-based interiors firm Louis Henri
is a breathtaking apartment located in one of Paris’ most
desirable neighbourhoods. Located on the fashionable
Avenue Montaigne, this generously proportioned lateral
apartment has been extensively remodeled to exacting standards.
The private client is an international, multi-generational family
who wanted a home away from home, a sanctuary within the City
of Lights. They requested a glamorous interior that drew inspiration
from traditional French style, but melded with modern elegance and
high-tech performance and security.
It was of particular importance for the family to have separate,
defined entertaining areas and personal spaces. The four generous
reception rooms now serve the former purpose, while the four ensuite bedrooms are the epitome of comfort and relaxation.
The clients asked that the focus of the project be to create a
completely bespoke and unique interior, which was reflected in
the project cost. Rather than being constrained by timelines and
budgets, the team at Louis Henri was given free reign to use the best
possible materials and craftsmen to create this high-spec home.
‘We wanted something that felt location-specific,’ Louis Henri
Buhrmann says. ‘The clients are international business people who
¨
love Paris and do business in France’ ►
