Renovation Brings New Rhythm to the Legendary Bus Palladium in Paris
At the Bus Palladium in Paris, Serge Gainsbourg scribbled lyrics on a table and Salvador Dalí arrived with a panther on a leash. Now the legendary Pigalle club begins a new chapter as a 35-room hotel designed by Studio KO, with its rock-and-roll spirit woven into the architecture. It all began when James Arch rented the Ange Rouge, at 6 rue Fontaine, a dance hall for the elderly that was falling into disrepair.
A Beirut, un appartamento modernista del 1952 diventa una casa eclettica piena di tesori di antiquariato e design
Questo appartamento a Beirut è un crocevia di epoche e stili, dai mobili Biedermeier al design degli anni ’80. Guillaume Excoffier cominciò a frequentare Beirut all’inizio del 2010 e rimase folgorato dal numero di edifici modernisti, costruiti tra gli anni ’50 e la metà degli anni ’70, un periodo di rapida crescita economica per la città. Cominciò a cercarli: un edificio di uffici brutalista, una basilica in cemento, un tributo alla Cité Radieuse di Le Corbusier.
This Warm Beirut Apartment Is a Chemistry of Classic Antiques and Postmodernism
Guillaume Excoffier’s Beirut apartment flips the script on conventional curation by pairing midcentury architecture with high-low design icons.

In Provence, Ruth and Tom Chapman Discover a Storied Retreat Once Owned by Style Icons Betty and François Catroux
When Ruth and Tom Chapman bought the house in the Provence region of France, on these pages, it carried both the gifts—and the weight—of previous owners.

Questa casa a Saluzzo ci insegna come dividere gli spazi in casa senza cambiare le partizioni strutturali. Siamo a Saluzzo.

La casa di Lenny Kravitz a Parigi, eleganza con sentimento. Lenny Kravitz ama Parigi da quando ci è venuto la prima volta, nel 1989, a 25 anni, per promuovere il suo album d’esordio, Let Love Rule. All’inizio degli anni Duemila, ha pensato che era giunto il momento di trovarsi un pied-à-terre: «Magari sulla Senna, con una camera da letto, al massimo due, dove poter scrivere e passare il tempo», ricorda. «Un giorno, l’agente immobiliare mi dice: “Ho trovato qualcosa.

Jacques Garcia’s Lavish Homes Embody a Surprising Nostalgia Original
“This will be my last home. I’m reaching the end of my life, and I won’t be moving again.” says Jacques Garcia. The AD100 Hall of Famer stands in his 17th-century apartment, between the building’s courtyard and its garden. It’s a home from a dream, located on Paris’s Left Bank.

In Paris and Capri with Simon Porte Jacquemus
At a friend’s birthday dinner in Paris not long ago—a long banquette in a small neighborhood restaurant—I arrived late, sat, and was questioned by my tablemates about what brought me to France, where I don’t live. With the dismissive vagueness that writers learn to cultivate for work in progress, I told them I was working on a piece about a fashion designer. “I hope it’s Jacquemus,” someone across the table cut in. “Yeah, Jacquemus,” another guest agreed.
Nella casa parigina di Jacques Garcia, una wunderkammer eclettica contro "la nostalgia del futuro"

La storia di questa casa è ancor più affascinante.

Ben Gorham | English | Metal Magazine
Living in the city, it is somehow difficult to connect with nature. We immerse ourselves in our daily routines and forget about the world beyond the concrete, brick and glass walls that constantly surround us. But what happens in nature once you’re there? Exactly: instant connection. That’s exactly the feeling that Ben Gorham wanted to create with Possessions of My Soul, the Spring/Summer 2020 collection he’s designed for Peak Performance.

'Crazy Rich Asians' Actually Exist—and Their Extravagant Lives Will Stun You
By Kevin Kwan; Photographs By: Matthieu Salvaing; Fashion Editor: Cassie Anderson Aug 15 2018, 12:37 pm EDT I was sitting on a minimalist white bench in the middle of a glowing white box pavilion that had been built amid the splendor of the formal gardens surrounding the Musée Rodin in Paris. This was the ethereal setting for the Dior Haute Couture Fall 2018 show, and as I sat there thinking I must be in heaven, a woman leaned into my face and imperiously demanded that I move.

The first thing I do when I wake up is meditate. I live in the 16th Arrondissement of Paris, and mornings are my favorite time of day, with all the natural light streaming in the windows. We’re celebrating the 20th anniversary of Maje this year, and I often find myself thinking back to 1998, the year I decided to launch my own collection. I had been working alongside my older sister, Evelyne Chétrite, for several years on her label, Sandro.
AD Peeks Inside a Hidden Atelier Chock-Full of Icons | Architectural Digest
The land around Charles de Gaulle Airport is dotted with drab corrugated-metal warehouses, and the one I pull up to with Julien Lombrail looks no different. Except, that is, for the arresting cluster of solid bronze conical pods on the front lawn, with what seems like a giant’s throne sticking out of them. Is it a sculpture? Is it a chair? It turns out to be both.

Meet the Duo Behind Studio KO | Architectural Digest
Three years ago, Pierre Bergé , Yves Saint Laurent’s longtime partner in business and in life, contacted architects Olivier Marty and Karl Fournier, also partners in business and life, and asked them to design a museum in Marrakech that would house Saint Laurent’s legacy and, in no small part, his own. His directive was deceptively straightforward: “It’s simple—I want something strong, Moroccan, contemporary, and, above all, absolutely uncompromising.” Oh, is that it?
The Stunning Renovation of Paris's Hotel de Crillon | Architectural Digest
For all its gilded pomp and grand guests, the Hôtel de Crillon had started to feel like a museum by 2010, when the 18th-century property was acquired by a member of the Saudi royal family. Two years later it was announced the Crillon would close for an upgrade, which its competitors the Ritz Paris and Hôtel Plaza Athénée also did. If the decision wasn’t a surprise, the results—just unveiled—are.
Pierre Sauvage Walks Us Through His 18th-Century Paris Apartment | Architectural Digest
Pierre Sauvage is a floor guy. “I like classical structures and strong-looking floors, like you see in the work of David Hicks in the ’70s,” says Sauvage. The evidence is all around us in this grand, light-filled apartment on Paris’s rue de Varenne. Sauvage and his partner moved here three years ago from an apartment up the street that dated from a gaudier, more show-offy century. It was nice, says Sauvage, but it just wasn’t the century where his head was at.
