Fashion Designers at Home

Fashion Designers at Home. Elie Saab and his Paris apartment. 

In lieu of color, architect Chakib Richani employs rigorously geometric shapes to compose the stage set, the “scenography,” as he calls it, to accommodate Saab’s family, friends and clients. The result is seductive, unfussy and unpretentious. - Architectural Digest

elements of modern glamour 

This room features several key elements of modern glamour. Scale is not only expressed through the height of the ceilings but also in the over-sized floor lamps framing the doorway. There’s lots of luster, from the sheen of the upholstery to the shiny table accessories, including the multiple spheres clustered in the center. Last but not least, the chandelier’s dripping crystals makes the ultimate statement in glamour.

This design also features great balance. The traditional architecture, with its intricate moldings and french doors, provides the perfect backdrop for modern pieces. The dark furniture provides an additional sense of contrast against light colored walls. It all works together to provide a sleek, sophisticated, and, of course, glamorous hangout.
