INTERIOR: Beautiful & classy Hotel Les Dames du Panthéon, Paris (02)

While surfing on internet I found these beautiful photos from Hotel Les Dames du Panthéon in Paris. The hotel has recently completed a total renovation with rooms designed by interior designer Valérie Manoïl and it really looks stunning. The hotel is situated in the heart of the historic 5th arrondissement, just minutes from the Jardin du Luxembourg and overlooking the iconic, awe-inspiring Panthéon. Can imagine how it would be to enjoy the fantastic views of the Pantheon, Sacré-Cœur and the rooftops of Paris. I would absolutely love to stay here.

Love the atmosphere with Japanese influences by the selection of the wallpaper and the used color combination. This blogpost shows just one room design, but there are more stunning rooms designs to discover in hotel Les Dames du Panthéon. I posted earlier part 1. 

What a fantastic view from your hotel room!

Lighting Design: Counterweight Floor Lamp by Fort Standard

I was inspired by this beautiful lighting design, the Counterweight Floor Lamp by design studio Fort Standard. Counterweight is a series of LED fixtures made of gently arching, steam-bent wood that uses marble and brass as ballasts.

More about the designers:
Fort Standard is a contemporary industrial design studio founded by Gregory Buntain and Ian Collings. Their collaborative work is a manifestation of their shared vision and progressive design approach that pairs timeless materials with modern processes. Often using traditional materials in innovative ways, the designers have developed a unique formal language rooted in simplicity and functionality. Their attention to detail, connections and materiality generate what Buntain and Collings describe as a “warm-contemporary” aesthetic. For more information, see the enclosed links below.

Love the elegant, stylish and luxurious interiorstyle from interior designer Katharine Pooley. Below you will find some photos from her project Park Lane. What an elegant & sumptuous place to be. 

About the interior designer
