Inside Christophe Delcourt’s sensitive modernisation of a Paris home

5 days ago | elledecoration.co.uk | Phoebe Frangoul

It’s easy to see how it happens – you go out fully intending to buy a sofa, and come home with an interior designer instead. That’s what happened to this apartment’s owner, an entrepreneur and collector who originally came to Christophe Delcourt to design her some furniture. ‘Then, one day, she commissioned us to work on her apartment,’ he recalls.
Samuel Ross MBE tells the story of his most treasured possession

I believe this 19th-century church pew comes from the West Midlands, where I have my family home. It’s one of a pair (purchased on Vinterior) that I keep in my London warehouse apartment, where I both live and work part-time. It’s a way of life I think I inherited from my father, a stained-glass artist and restorer – as a child, seeing his workshop bolted onto our family home ingrained in me this way of working. A reverence for the maker’s hand is present within the pews.

There are certain perks, says Pierre Frey, communications director of the firm whose name he shares, to living ‘above the shop’. The grandson of the French fabric house’s founder moved into the apartment on the top floor of the headquarters, in a magical triangle between the Opéra Garnier, the Palais Royal and the Louvre, as a student. When he eventually joined the family business, ‘I was working day and night; it was very convenient,’ he says.

Inside the airy Paris sanctuary of Aesop’s creative powerhouse

Jean-Philippe Bonnefoi had a line of Gustave Flaubert’s in mind when he was searching for his home in Paris: ‘Be regular and orderly in your life, so that you may be violent and original in your work.’It summarises, he explains, ‘how one’s space is critical to create some sort of enveloping structure for the senses to be at ease’. Following a thoughtful restoration, the apartment that Aesop’s global head of retail design innovation calls ‘a second skin’ certainly fulfils that brief.

Set deep in a ravine, this cosy home is a tribute to nature

1 month ago | elledecoration.co.uk | Phoebe Frangoul

Just a few minutes from the vibrant centre of Toronto, tucked into a ravine in the Rosedale neighbourhood, stands a striking U-shaped mid-century-inspired house. This peaceful retreat is home to award-winning musician Dallas Green and his wife Leah Miller. Dallas spends a lot of time on the road with his musical projects (City and Color, and as one-half of the folk duo You+Me with Alecia Moore aka Pink) and longed for a sanctuary to return to after the rigours of touring.
What’s your favourite Serpentine pavilion? We reflect as it hits 25…

1 month ago | elledecoration.co.uk | Phoebe Frangoul

In the millennium year, Serpentine’s then-director Dame Julia Peyton-Jones commissioned Dame Zaha Hadid to design a venue for the gallery’s fundraising gala. It was only meant to be for one night, but the crowds came and claimed the pavilion as a piece of public architecture. Permission was given for it to stay in Kensington Gardens for the summer, and so one of the world’s most influential, thought-provoking micro-architecture programmes was born.
