Karl Lagerfeld’s Parisian Apartment

karl lagerfeld parisian apartment

Karl Lagerfeld’s futuristic apartment is located in the Quai Voltaire in Paris. The Kaiser chose the vanguard of contemporary design, and reinvents the concept of the Parisian artist studio in the terms of the twenty-first century. Very design and chic, also I think it’s a little too ‘cold’ for my taste, what do you think?

The furniture consists of tables Corian Martin Szekely (Kreo gallery), chairs Marc du Plantier, four leather chairs by Jean-Marie Massaud (Cassina) and a pair of coffee tables in aluminum and glass BarberOsgerby (Established & Sons).

“It’s a place to sleep, bathe and work,” says Karl Lagerfeld about his Paris apartment. Housed in a 1820 building on the Left Bank “which almost collapsed,” it has gone through two and a half years of transformations to achieve a spectacular result of light, glass and metal, made ??of 350 m2. Leaves to break down the walls of eight pieces to give birth to a monumental area that strikes at first by its futuristic where nothing was left to chance.

I wanted an apartment with glass and transparency everywhere …
And there is no color here, because I am constantly surrounded by color. I prefer to live in a neutral environment.
