Sacha Walckhoff Talks About The Inspiration Behind The Bold Look Of The Apartment

Sacha Walckhoff, creative director of Maison Christian Lacroix, talks to Karine Monie about the inspiration behind the bold look of the apartment he shares with partner Pascal.

We often associate Paris with classical style. Nestled in an 1840s building in the 10th arrondissement, this 1,453 sq ft apartment could have been a testament to that notion if it weren’t for the very different story that unfolds inside. Designer and decorator Sacha Walckhoff, creative director of Maison Christian Lacroix since 2010, opens the doors to the home he shares with partner Pascal Ferrero, an internationally known wig and hair designer for the film and theatre industry.

“We moved in just after a famous young French actor left. He’d done such a great job that we did not have much to do!” confesses Sacha. “We both work from home a lot and wanted a place where we could also invite clients for a drink so we could share our ideas and style.”

The entrance immediately reveals the unique ambiance of this creative place where audacity rules. The dark vestibule, painted in Railings – a soft black with blue undertones by Farrow & Ball – contrasts with the rest of the bright rooms.
