This past fall designer Azzedine Alaïa transformed a 300 metre 17th Century Parisian building into three separate 100 metre apartments designed for short-term stays.   Located on the Rue de Moussy in the bobo-chic district of Le Marais near his boutique and personal residence. We read that guests are treated to morning meals cooked up by the designer’s private kitchen.

Counter to his tendencies in fashion, which incorporate a lot of black, complicated and very feminine influences such as corsets, these interiors are built upon clean white walls an polished cement floors using a minimalist color palate occasionally accented with a red Marc Newson chair for example. There is a large presence of Prouvé, which isn’t super inspiring any more in our view, and a forever chic four-light Serge Mouille lamp over one of the beds.
