A muted palette of materials and colours form the heart of the project’s restrained luxury. Striking a fine balance between classical elegance and contemporary minimalism, whites and greys dominate, echoing the soft light that filters through the large windows. Cream walls subtly reflect the shifting tones of Paris’s ever-changing sky, while the raw concrete of the fireplace and travertine kitchen counters recall the weighty elegance of the city's historic architecture. Original features such as the timber ceiling beams in the open-plan living area, and the painstakingly restored original Versailles parquet serve to provide textured counterpoints to the otherwise unembellished surfaces.

Furniture selections reinforce the apartment’s aesthetic of austere sophistication. A curated blend of mid-century and contemporary pieces, most of which are from Stanislas’ own collection, anchors the spaces, their elemental geometric forms resonating with the architectural interventions. Among them, the Gatsby sofa introduces a sculptural softness with its curvaceous geometry, while the Sugar stool provides a counterpoint with its sharply angular form, reinforcing the dialogue between structure and fluidity. Cashmere textiles introduce a tactile warmth that offsets the cool restraint of stone and concrete, ensuring that the apartment remains inviting despite its minimalist precision while contemporary artworks such as Daniel Firman’s neon text “Something ordinary happened here” inject a conceptual dynamism into the composition.
