A new generation of French designers has transformed an 18th century abbey into a modern masterpiece of subtle colours and clean corners on the left bank in Paris.
Paris' Design Hotel Bel-Ami on Rue Saint-Benoît dares to be fun and exerts an unpretentious appeal to the fashionista, while managing to create an atmosphere of pared-down luxury through strong modern design. From the inviting rich chocolate sofas in the pistachio reception area to the coffee coloured throws in Bel-Ami’s guestrooms and suites, as well as caramel stools in the espresso bar, the hotel’s colour palette aims to please without being distracting. The fresh French interior designers Nathalie Battesti and Veronique Terreaux have given boutiques, houses and apartment buildings in Paris and Tokyo their invigorating twist. For this Parisian house of fun, the pair – supervised by architect Christian Lalande – gave equal consideration to style and comfort, hinging their design style on the simple, yet is neither lacking in warmth or character. Culminating in understated elegance and artistic refinement with analogous themes of nature and urbanism gently intertwined.
In 2003, Parisian interior designer Michel Jouannet, inspired in part by Stanley Kubrick’s “Clockwork Orange,” created 24 new rooms with selected colour schemes comprising orange, olive green and azure blue giving each room an air of calm and informal elegance, accompanied by simple white marble bathrooms. Making extensive use of natural materials, including black lacquered bedside tables or wengé wood for the rooms’ cupboards, the Hotel Bel-Ami in Paris is a soothing backdrop to the invigorating bustle of the Left Bank outside.
