Parisian interior designer Sarah Lavoine reveals the secrets behind her design for the new five-star Le Roch Hotel.
The design opus of one of the 21st Century’s most iconic Parisian designers, Sarah Lavoine’s new Le Roch Hôtel and Spa in Saint-Honoré is the coveted design stay for those in the know. Redefining luxury in the fashion capital, it bears Lavoine’s signature style: a dynamic intermingling of colour and comfort – a soulful manifestation of the new contemporary interior.
“I imagined Le Roch Hôtel & Spa as a private apartment, translating my vision of hospitality by bringing together materials, colours, motifs and all the small details that you want to find after returning home from a long journey,” Lavoine explains. “I designed the spaces to create an elegant and welcoming place, playing with the effect of the soft natural light on the deep colours that have become my signature: black contrasting with soft pastel shades, ‘Sarah Blue’ and a luminous dotted brick red.”
Known in Dubai via her collection in The Den shop, Lavoine is known internationally for her furnishings, accessories and fine paint. “My designs can be easily integrated in other countries because they are timeless,” she explains.
