Sophisticated living in a rustic shell. Gilt and linen, stone and velvet. Contemporary pieces sit with country antiques. The scene is set by Madrid-based Belén Ferrándiz for an elegant country town sojourn.

What was once a maze of disconnected rooms with a false ceiling above is now a stunning celebration of a quintessential Haussmannian apartment with it’s wedding cake icing ceiling and cornices. Modern living is delineated by a series of shelving walls that stand independently creating volumes within the a volume. It’s the perfect way to have your cake and eat it too.
