Joseph Dirand, A Paris apartment designed by Joseph Dirand

After posting the kitchen designed by Joseph Dirand yesterday, it’s a rigor to post the rest of this breath taking Paris apartment.  This apartment designed by him is situated in the widely popular neighborhood of Saint-Germain-des-Prés in Paris and I would say that it also falls into the “new modern” category I spoke about yesterday where the design concept is still simple with “less is more” as the standard but, without sacrificing the warmth and provenance of the space.  And I’m sure that you would assume that such magnificent Interior Architectural features as stunning parquet floors found all throughout the house, extraordinary floor-to-ceiling French doors providing unbeatable amounts of light, and walls dressed with elegant ornate moldings, doesn’t need much to be enhanced further.  Unquestionably though Dirand went on and did his magic by adding wonderful and sculptural furniture, paired them with top notch art while keeping the color palette to the minimum.  The result is a perfect symphony of harmony and beauty to treat our eyes.  See more gorgeous Paris abodes here.
