If I was not an Interior Designer, Joseph Dirand would be the one designer who I would give complete authority to do my home. But of course I don’t own an apartment in a 19th-century Haussmannian building on Avenue Montaigne, nor am I heiress to an Eastern European
fortune, so I could never afford such a talent. Joseph Dirand’s latest project is a 6,500-square-foot abode with all the amazing details of French design such as perfectly restored moldings, parquet floors and 11-foot-high double doors. Details that the talented Architect knows how to enhance without letting them take center stage to create the ultra-modernist/minimalist designs he is well known for. Dirand was also in charge of assembling the art collection. Everyone of Joseph Dirand’s projects display refinement and sophistication in a very restrain way, a style characteristic of French Designers. As in this apartment can prove the attention to detail is in every space and furniture.
