MOVED IN 2019
PREVIOUS PROPERTY 'The owners were living in an artist's studio before moving to this apartment,' says Albane.
When Albane Collon’s clients commissioned her to redesign their apartment in Paris, she encouraged them to look beyond their comfort zone. ‘The owners had given me carte blanche, so I took the opportunity to challenge them,’ says Albane, who runs interior design company 131 Malesherbes (131m.fr). ‘Left to their own devices, they would have gone for white walls with a few touches of navy blue, but in my opinion that was rather deja vu. I knew that using colour would make the space far more interesting, so I decided to go for a warmer, more painterly palette.’
