Minimalism Meets Decadence

La Maison des Champs-Elysées:  The first hotel to be decorated by Martin Margiela, the renowned Belgian fashion designer.  Yes, you heard me right, a fashion designer.  In this absolutely gorgeous historical building, which dates back to 1864, fashion meets architecture and the two blend in seamlessly.

Take a look.



The Maison Champs Elysées successfully combines classical and avant-garde styles to create an elegant, relaxing environment.


The impressive and slick lobby.



The dramatic contrast between old and new is captivating.




I can't take my eyes off these danish style modernist chairs.









Painted mouldings echo the architectural details of this historic Parisian building.




I adore the contrast of minimalism with decadence as brought forth by this beaded chandelier.  For a similar one, visit my 1stdibs store here.



Margiela wanted to bring black and white drama to his design and contrasted white rooms against black ones.



So art deco.



A bronze and marble staircase contrasts with the belgian linen upholstered fabric Margiela is well known for.








The belgian linen upholstery makes this lounge inviting.  








I can't get enough of these chairs!
