High above the cobbled streets of Le Marais — the kind where perfume shops outnumber grocery stores and no one wears sneakers unironically — a certain kind of spring has taken root. The flat, designed by the ever-fashionable French firm Batiik Studio, is a sun-drenched pied-à-terre. It’s abloom — a full flush of seasonal optimism rendered in pastel lacquer, warm grainy woods, and the occasional sculptural flourish: bas-relief, knotted, or otherwise.
The minds behind the interior transformation, architect Rebecca Benichou and designer Florence Jallet, are a complementary pair: one, a spatial specialist with an eye for constraint-led elegance; the other, a set design alumna whose artistic sensibility brings a cinematic softness to every room. Together, they breathed new life into a flat untouched since the 1980s.
