Jacob, A Contemporary Retreat:
Where Modern Meets Timeless

Project type: Residence
159 sq m
decoration and turn-key project

Transforming this 159-square-meter apartment in the heart of St. Germain des Prés was a rewarding challenge. Nestled in a former 18th-century hôtel particulier, this exquisite space features soaring 3.85-meter-high ceilings, a grand living room, a kitchen dînatoire, three bedrooms, three bathrooms, and a charming powder room—perfect for an American family of four seeking Parisian sophistication.

Our work began months before gaining access to the apartment, meticulously planning every detail to ensure a seamless transformation. Once access was granted, we had a short three-week window to bring the design to life. During this time, we painted, made minor renovations, installed custom shades, and curated a fully turnkey interior that perfectly balanced timeless charm with modern comfort.

Key highlights include a dazzling antique mirror and chandelier from the Marche Aux Puces, a rare first-edition Wishbone chair, a 1950s Scandinavian dining table, and reupholstered Danish armchairs. We added artistic flair with curated pieces, Venetian snake-design side tables, and a whimsical 18th-century marble apple sculpture. Anchoring the living room is a bespoke modern sofa from our private label, upholstered in sumptuous Pierre Frey blue fabric.

This project showcases the harmonious blend of antique treasures and contemporary design, resulting in a home that feels both elegant and livable. Thanks to careful planning, trusted artisan partners, and our dedicated team, this Parisian apartment is now a timeless reflection of its owners’ unique style and personality.
