Inside Grammy-winning music producer Noah ‘40’ Shebib’s Toronto home

2 weeks ago | elledecoration.co.uk | Phoebe Frangoul

When you’re a master of your craft, you recognise the same ability in others. Grammy-winning producer and Drake’s close collaborator Noah ‘40’ Shebib knew he couldn’t design his own home. Instead, he asked Trevor Wallace of Toronto firm Reflect Architecture to do it for him: no brief, no boundaries, no interference. Trevor recalls him saying, ‘I don’t do architecture or design, I do music.’ Originally, Trevor was asked to design a cottage outside the city.

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.

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.
