This 18th century duplex in Saint-Germain-des-Prés is the epitome of Paris style and elegance, and the exquisite attention to detail of their interiors. A collaboration between Claude Cartier Studio and Simon Pesin, this beautiful space is a mix of traditional architecture and modern furnishings….indeed a confluence of the arts.

This apartment on Warren Street, NY is located on the 21st floor of a glass skyscraper is bold, vibrant, artsy, playful and was designed by Crina Arghirescu Rogard with the homeowner’s colour-blindness in mind – he can see pure, bright colours like blues, reds and yellow. Hence the use of some blue and red throughout. The living room wall shelving is a major red statement, and the bathtub rendered in Yves Klein Blue set into a curved nook is a really cool situation that makes me want to tub-lounge. Speaking of statements, the semi-circular brushed stainless steel islands are such a cool focal point. So much uniqueness here. Photos: Chris Mottalini.

Have you ever seen someone tile a border above wainscotting in a hallway, that happens to be carpeted in leopard print? Me either! I’m telling you, these Parisian designers are just oozing with wild and creative ideas. I love every single bit of this apartment. The stripped (?) walls in the living room, that hallway situation, putting a cafe rod curtain in front of what looks like a MCM cabinet, and that retro green and pink bathroom! SWOONING!!!! Designed again by Orsini Daventure. Photos: Amaury Laparra.

When the homeower of this Central Park West apartment called upon designer Fawn Galli to create a family home here, she wanted it to be light, fun and eclectic, with a bit of old-world, and lots of character to the furnishings. That is right up Fawn’s alley, as her spaces are typically pretty unique and full of life. I adore the quirkiness she added here, as if the homeowner had spent years collecting containers-full of the coolest stuff found at Paris flea markets. Photos: Marili Forastieri.
