French interior and furniture designer Emmanuelle Simon has renovated an 85 square meter Haussmannian apartment in Saint-Germain. In The sixth arrondissement of Paris, as if creating a painting, making it the perfect home. Her use of natural and mineral shadows, such as sand, terracotta and limestone, can create a siro-like environment in the apartment, quieting urban traffic in Paris' 7th arrondissement and turning the house into an oasis in a vibrant city.
Instead of using too much color, she relies on the tactile touch of natural textures and the visual language of abstract forms, expressed through a wide variety of antique, vintage and contemporary furniture and artwork, including many of her own designs. The result is a series of carefully curated modernist interiors that reflect the French designer's high sense of refinement, keen eye for detail and passion for craftsmanship..
The floor is a French parquet with a Mosaic pattern, and the walls and ceiling are painted in a single white tone, which brings more light and air to the space. Inside the house, the owner breathes in an eclectic atmosphere, from styles like Art Deco and Wabi-sabi to a Japanese aesthetic that rediscovers beauty in the instant of objects, with an idea of perfection that is absolute but intuitive and spontaneous.
