“ The Eiffel Tower is a quintessential monument . It embodies the French spirit and is a symbol of femininity , boldness , lightness and irreverence . The three pillars of my work have always been culture , architecture and emotion ;
The Jules Verne ’ s new decor expresses these three fundamentals through a strong narrative rooted in the rich history of the tower , a timeless decor - both refined and streamlined – and through intricate details holding a rare legacy . As the Eiffel Tower acts as a bridge between heaven and earth , Le Jules Verne aims to link the past with the future .
The interior of the restaurant is like a soft and delicate heart , transformed through a certain abstract radicalism , a design philosophy specific to industrial architecture which is by essence divergent , timeless and streamlined .
“ Paris and the “ Iron Lady ”, veiled in lace , are the first sources of inspiration for the holistic décor envisioned for the Jules Verne . The interiors will capture the delicate balance between the raw and the precious , an echo to the creations of star chef Frederic Anton . The creative and sensory walk begins at the south entrance of the ground floor where the scenography of the pillar welcomes you in by emphasizing the gesture of the hand both in architecture and in the culinary art . On the second floor , caught between the clouds and the graphic abstraction of the Parisian streets , the space has been revisited to offer new perspectives on Gustave Eiffel ’ s engineering treasures whilst also providing an exciting intimacy complimenting the tailor-made culinary journey imagined by Chef Anton .”
