Henri de Bornier

It is in a Belle Époque mansion built for Gaby Deslys (1881-1920), a shooting star of the music hall, that Laura Gonzalez set up her creative studio. “The location, a stone’s throw from the Bois de Boulogne, with lots of trees nearby and a small garden, immediately appealed to me,” assures the decorator. I feel like I'm working in a country house! » There, on 600 m2, spread over six levels, its 45 employees are busy, some glued to their computer screens refining plans on AutoCAD, others watercoloring textile patterns with a brush in hand. Faithful to her vision of an art of living joyfully mixing professional activity and the intimate sphere, Laura Gonzalez preferred to traditional offices a place arranged like a beautiful family home. The ground floor is therefore structured around a large kitchen-dining room which also serves as a meeting room, once the lunch break is over. Patterned carpets on the staircase, walls covered with printed fabrics in the open spaces, vintage furniture here and there contribute to a joyful daily life.
