Fabrice Ausset loves playing with textures, as evident in his own metallic Silverwing sofa and the wood-and-plaster ceiling, not to mention the woven leather, wool and Lurex wall behind the chimney.

Rich hues and a trendy glass-walled en-suite bathroom make for a very contemporary living space.

This table is Ausset's own creation, pairing smoked black lacquered steel with plexiglas legs, backlit by LEDs. The iconic black swivel chairs by Konstantin Grcic provide the perfect accompaniment.
