Paris is always a good idea

    Amongst the passion and inspiration of the city and following the aftermath of Maison & Objet’s Paris Design Week, somewhere in Clichy – in the ninth arrondissement of Paris – there is a stunning place that was the subject of a home makeover by interior design studio, 10surdix, and the finished result looks as if it has been taken straight out of a movie.

    As Audrey Hepburn famously said in the film ‘Sabrina’, “Paris is always a good idea” and this quote is more believable than ever now that we’re a little bit obsessed with that Parisian Je ne sais quoi after Maison & Objet in September.

    Maison & Objet’s Paris Design Week is fast becoming the definitve cultural counterpoint that is raising the bar for design weeks across the world. Overlapping the Maison & Objet Paris show and uniting the French and an increasingly international design community, the Paris Design Week city becomes immersed in promenades, cocktails, exhibitions – culminating into the celebration of emerging talents and inspiration for many interior designers.

    Monocles sideboard

    The French team from interior design studio 10surdix recently created an inspiring modern home filled with industrial accents and a Mid-Century sideboard ensuring that the interior of this abode is one that won’t be forgotten.

    At the very centre of this scheme is the Monocles sideboard. This movie-inspired sideboard makes all the difference in the room. With dark walnut and gold-plated brass finishes, this Mid-Century piece can light up a room all by itself. The Monocles’ circles are engraved to the back and side of the unit, giving it extreme character and a high-end finished look. It is a perfect furniture piece for retro lovers or Mid-Century admirers, giving the knurling knobs on the drawers or the tapered legs.

    The open-plan living of this remodelled home is very characteristic of industrial interiors. The more modern and slightly bohemian look of the overall appearance was achieved not only by Essential Home’s Monocles sideboard but also by DelightFull’s minimalist Clark chandelier.

    Deciding to use an oversized mirror simply placed against the wall was a clever way to convey a relaxed Parisian vibe in such a wide space as this living room. The concrete wall behind the television was given a special touch with the hand-painted flowers on the top.

    The canopy between the master bedroom and the corridor was done especially for this sole purpose in the studio’s workshops near Paris. The wall fixtures are also bespoke pieces.
