Karl Lagerfeld’s futuristic apartment is located in 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.
In the living room, (above) retractable glass walls reveal a small sample of the huge collection of books by Karl Lagerfeld. 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).
Around a table in aluminum and stainless steel by Martin Szekely (Kreo gallery), six chairs MY 68 signed Michael Young (Sawaya & Moroni)
In the dressing room, Goyard trunks and clothes neatly hung on racks chrome.
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.
In the Bedroom, a chair by Jean-Marie Massaud (Cassina) adjoins a console and a convenient Martin Szekely (gallery Kreo) topped with an iPod dock
