Fusion plays a role in most of the best designs. Whether it's the combination of hard lines with sofa furnishings, modern style with antiques, or seemingly contrasting colors, a combination of seemingly disparate elements is a definite way to create stunning interiors. In Yves St. Laurent's apartment, the fusion was between French and North African design.
The iconic Parisian designer was enthralled by Moroccan design from his first trip to Marrakech in 1966. So much so that after just a few days in the Ochre City, he and his partner, Pierre Bergé, purchased their first home in the historic medina. As you would imagine, the home combines traditional European furnishings with gorgeous Moroccan details. From zellige tiles to kilim rugs, their homes were full of warmth and character.
