THE ELLE DECORATION SUITE
08 May 2010 - Oct 2011
Jean Paul Gaultier
|
For this third edition, Jean Paul Gaultier has taken over the former apartment designed by Jacques Carlu, the architect behind the Palais Chaillot in the 1930s. After Christian Lacroix and Maison Martin Margiela, the ELLE Decoration suite opens its doors to another avant garde French designer
“Clothes are my job, and as I only know how to dress, I dressed this ELLE Decoration suite in the Cité de l’architecture & du patrimoine, with various touches that already grace my collections.
First, the marine touch.
Navy stripes are deployed and deformed on the walls, they are draped and curl around the furniture, a little “marine morphing” lounge that disappears in the white canvas.
Then comes the green touch. Nature opens its doors !
Plants are invited in, a garden is printed on the walls!
Ivy weaves into the sofa; lichen grows over the woven chairs in the shade of a tree, and moss, like green velvet, carpets the stone, plants tumble down in steps, hiding in a net.
The nude touch, satin skin :
Fabric unfolds on the walls of the bedroom and forms a powdery velum on the ceiling.
The corset dress of a fairground doll becomes the bed’s giant quilt.
In this room, lingerie, a lace that fishnets on the carpet and is mirrored in the window panes.
For the reflective touch, the terrace !
Paris and the Eiffel tower resonate and multiply in facets shaped like diamonds, jewels, accessories for the sky and clouds, which play on a chequered mirror on the floor, the shiny lining of a cement grey coating.
Clothes have gone from one state to another as we pass from one room to another.”
Jean Paul Gaultier
Roche Bobois, sponsor of the ELLE Decoration Suite
Fashion and interior design, a common history: creativity, aesthetics, audacity, energy are its codes, as are skill and attention to detail.
Roche Bobois works with known or emerging talents, to create, not design for all, but design for each and every one of us: rooms that express the pedigree of their creators and the personality of those who adopt them.
This year, Roche Bobois has celebrated 50 years of creation and international development.
Working with Jean Paul Gaultier, a French artist with a worldwide influence, on the creation of a set which blends fashion and interior design, was evident.
The ELLE Decoration Suite by Jean Paul Gaultier enjoys the sponsorship of Roche Bobois and the support of Ege Carpet, iGuzzini, Jardins de Gally
