foreword by Jacques Garcia | translated from the French by Nicole Alves
Ah, Paris... Who hasn't dreamed of living in Paris at some point? The French capital always has been, and always will be, a magnet for artists, musicians, writers, architects, antique collectors, and designers the world over. And the Parisian homes of this exciting international crowd are replete with inspiration for interior design.
This volume offers us exclusive access into twenty of the city's most original, intriguing, quirky, bold, elegant, and refined interiors. The Parisian home of renowned interior designer Jacques Garcia juxtaposes ethnic elements with modern art, while Lenny Kravitz's sumptuous estate is accented by objects from his own design firm, Kravitz Design, Inc., as well as personal memorabilia from legends such as James Brown, John Lennon, and Jimi Hendrix. From a bucolic oasis just a stone's throw away from the Seine to a baroque fantasy hidden inside a stately Haussmannian building, and from a futuristic design lair in Saint-Germain-des-Prés to a Russian dacha nestling in the attic of an hôtel particulier, the interiors unveiled by discerning style mavens Barbara and René Stoeltie are as diverse as they are astonishing. Vivid photographs capture every detail and provide fresh ideas for the home.
Since 1984. Barbara and René Stoeltie, writer and photographer respectively, have collaborated on over forty art, lifestyle, and interiors books. They have also published articles in prestigious magazines, such as The World of Interiors, AD, Vogue, Elle, House and Garden, House Beautiful, Maison Française, Résidence, and Mezonin (Russia).
