Joseph Dirand And Ornamental Minimalism

Joseph Dirand describes his new Paris apartment as “Ornamental Minimalism”. As always in any Joseph Dirand’s creation, the craftmanship is front and center. Take a look at his previous apartment here. “I create space with equilibrium and a classic base.” Yet “there are details and compositions,” he told AD. The spacious apartment has breathtaking views of Paris while in the interior sumptuous stones and unique marbles embellish much of the surfaces.

The color palette throughout the apartment is mostly “natural tints” as Dirand calls it. Neutral tones as tobacco-hued Versailles parquet, off-white walls, pale greens, and different shades of light grays, provide a quiet background to the art and exotic stones.

The bathroom design is very understated making it more utilitarian than decorative. Here the marble takes center stage.
