Elegant, discreet and minimalistic— these are some of the defining traits of renowned French design maestro Christian Liaigre’s stellar work. The late designer and his eponymous brand Liaigre continue to be recognised worldwide for a signature look that is both polished as well as tastefully understated.
A Singaporean couple who are ardent admirers of Liaigre’s work sought to incorporate some of the French brand’s most notable designs into their semi-detached house. They felt that their 4,600 sq ft property in Singapore’s Bukit Timah needed a major overhaul to meet their needs, and for the Liaigre furnishings and other designer pieces to fit beautifully within the interior.
The couple live with two daughters and the wife’s parents; the owners wanted ample storage for their family of six to keep their home neat. They were taken by the similarly elegant style of homegrown firm Joey Khu Interior Design, and enlisted the studio to make their dream home a reality.
“We admire Christian Liaigre for his elegant and minimalist approach to design, as well as the brand’s attention to detail,” shares Joey Khu, the eponymous founder of his firm. “The clients mentioned that they love Liaigre furniture and its style. They wanted a harmonious interior, and highlighted that their furniture and accessories had to blend with the whole design scheme.”
