In the heart of Paris’ Palais Royal
Isabelle Stanislas :
"The rhythm of the Palais Royal’s facades inspired the apartment’s strict symmetry.
I played with the existing layout by joining two floors to create one space and moving
my bedroom to the kitchen. I struck a harmony between the interior and exterior and
between lightness and heaviness, creating a space that feels like it always existed."
"I don’t like to narrow myself to the word style. I love materials and
I use them like an alphabet to create new words each time."
"We are suspended in the sky on the fourth floor, and I observed and listened
to the softness of the surroundings– the light sand from the garden, the grey stone
from the facade and the “ciel de Paris” colour. I played with cashmere furniture,
travertine, oak and concrete. I created a special mirror, separated into two
horizontal pieces to accentuate the feeling of levitation. The
outside becomes inside and vice-versa."
"I love going to flea markets; I found a long bench by an unknown Brazilian designer
at a flea market, which now sits in the living room. The construction of the bench is
exceptional. I collect all kinds of seats: armchairs, stools, and chairs. Around my
house, you will find Jeanneret, the first chair designed by Rick Owen and works
by Donald Judd. The object’s temporality disappears to let
questions arise: Is it new? Is it old?"
"The shadow gap is my favourite detail. My work is about perception.
This little detail makes a room feel very different. I love to work with invisible
lighting as artwork. Night’s falls add a new dimension to a room as art."
Isabelle Stanislas :
"I believe my home is a peaceful and joyful
space, open to family and friends and a well-hidden nest."
