Eclectic rules from Moroso
Mar 24, 2018
This project is the epitome of eclecticism and the quintessence of fashion tones in one bottle. It was created for a young couple with three children in the provincial French town of Ecully, near Lyon.
The interior design is entirely the work of Claude Cartier's team. Energetic and enterprising, Claude Cartier is one of Lyon's most highly regarded decorators and is appreciated for her taste and ability to create modern, elegant, fashionable interiors.
The landlady herself played a major role in shaping the design of the house. She understands the latest trends and is deeply involved in the fashion industry. With her participation, a palette of interiors was developed, where the dominant color is pink.
The kitchen unit is made to order, and here, as in the bathroom, it is made of luxurious natural marble. One support in the kitchen is lined with black and shiny underground ceramic tiles, partially gilded walls are combined with wooden panelling. The most spectacular technique is the geometric pattern formed by the bold black lines on the walls. Claude Cartier came up with this décor to link the interior with the façade - the same 'grid' on the white roof protrusions on the outside.
The interiors are 'feminine', with a strong mid-century modern feel. "Tropical rugs and Thonet chairs with woven backs underline the vintage feel and exceptionalism of the concept.
The clear favourite among the furniture brands that shaped this project is the Italian factory Moroso. In the house with a total area of 400 m² we find a Moroso M.a.s.a.s sofa, quilted armchairs Redondo and a blue armchair Big Mama. All signed by the Italian factory and the talented P. Urquiola.
"We wanted to create a modern home based on a classic code that should support the style but not overwhelm it. - comments Claude Cartier. - That's why we combined ultra-modern furniture with old French clichés, like velvet upholstery and curtains, some hand embroidery and of course brass fixtures.
To make an interior sound not only fashionable but also glamorous, the surest remedy is to add a light, unobtrusive shimmer. Claude Cartier gilded some parts of the walls, cornices, mirror frames and added many items with brass details. The brass looks impeccably noble, such as in the Baxter chandelier, which is not conspicuous, but adds a touch of costliness and style.
