Nestled in the heart of Paris, a stay at Vendôme is akin to experiencing the grandeur of a Versailles annex. The property is adorned with an exquisite gallery that showcases paintings, sculptures, ceramics, and Chinese porcelain, all complementing the sophisticated design and culture imbued throughout the edifice.
Directly overlooking one of the globe's most stunning squares, the incoming light through Vendôme's expansive, intricately designed windows crafts a nearly theatrical ambiance. It's a place that seems to tread the line between reality and mythology, embodying the essence of French opulence.
With the assistance of renowned French interior designers Charles-Philippe and Christophe from Laboratoire Design, Fouad Giacomo-Filali has infused Vendôme with a modern aesthetic that respects French tradition. It seamlessly integrates rare pieces from his personal collection amidst the property's refined 18th-century frames and Versailles' parquet floors.
Upon entering the foyer, one is greeted by sculptures by Letourneur and Jacques Zwobada, alongside a pair from Gaston Chaissac. The living room, accentuated by a marble fireplace and gold-leaf ornamentation, features art pieces by Modigliani, Francis Bacon, and Fernand Léger.
The spacious rooms, adorned with light grey and white walls, host a blend of contemporary minimalistic furniture and antiques. A Gio Ponti table and a Knoll sofa are elegantly juxtaposed with enormous Chinese urns and an Empire desk. The sizeable, luminous, and stylish lounge, with its four large windows, offers a commanding view of the majestic Place Vendôme. It serves as a tranquil and cozy space for reading, working, conversing, or simply unwinding.
