Inspired Look: Pied a Terre
A London-based couple had a predilection for historic architecture set out to find the perfect Paris pied-à-terre. In the Left Bank’s atmospheric sixth arrondissement—home to the Luxembourg Gardens, the Odéon Theater, and the storied Café de Flore and Les Deux Magots, where the likes of Jean-Paul Sartre, Simone de Beauvoir, and Albert Camus once held court—they fell in love with a quintessentially Parisian apartment.
They agreed the apartment should retain its sense of place and history but the couple wanted pared-down interiors.. The overall feeling is more Art Deco refinement than classical grandeur, with sensuous modern pieces marked by superior craftsmanship deployed throughout.
