An island of color and comfort, the
living room’s seating area is surrounded
by an expanse of wood paneled flooring.
A deep tufted couch, the color of
frosted plums, adds slow curves. Two
upholstered chairs enhance the motif
of contours and curves seen in the end
table, chandelier, poufs and fireplace
arch.
Carefully arranged glossy black and
white figures and pops of mod red
tangerine throughout the floor create
archipelagoes of style. They engage the
eye while ensuring the space’s expanse
does not feel hollow.
“I like to go with the flow. Most of those
pieces, minus the sofa, are vintage finds
that I hunt all over the city for,” Stéphane
notes. “Right now, you can still find a lot
of pieces from the 1970s at affordable
prices.”
Stéphane’s designs create beautiful
vignettes with a minimum of pieces that
speak eloquently for themselves. He
advises, “Just like Coco Chanel said; you
put everything together and then, before
going out, you remove something.”
A Scandinavian symphony of quiet, the
dining room relies on the sculptured
shapes of the glossy black chairs against
a spare table and neutral background. In
the living room the flowers, lamps and
vases act as the room’s jewelery.
