THE INTERIOR DESIGNERS

The Paris-based duo Raphaël Le Berre and Thomas Vevaud first met as students at the Ecole Camondo in the mid-1990s. Since setting up their practice, Le Berre Vevaud, in 2008, they have largely specialised in residential projects in the French capital. They also recently launched their debut furniture range, available via The Invisible Collection.

THE PROPERTY

Located in a Haussmannian building close to Paris’ Parc Monceau, this four-bedroom apartment was already being renovated by a developer when its owners, a couple with two children, called upon Le Berre Vevaud to decorate it. A few tweaks were made to its layout, which now consists of a hall, a dining and living space, a kitchen, a pantry, four bedrooms, a walk-in wardrobe, four en-suite bathrooms and a cloakroom.
