Against the backdrop of his exceptional homes in Paris, Normandy, and the South of France, Pierre Sauvage- director of Casa Lopez, the legendary Parisian housewares purveyor-showcases his very personal and contemporary style of decorating and entertaining. His striking use of color sets the tone for each room and serves as a counterpoint to his playful matchings of materials and patterns. With discriminating taste, Sauvage pairs new designs for occasional furniture with singular antiques or hand-painted table settings from Provence and Andalusia with cut crystal decanters.
From bold interiors to elegant gardens and outdoor living spaces, each home is infused with his connoisseur's eye for luxury details. Stunning photography commissioned especially for this book under Sauvage's art direction provides inspiration for creating interiors that exude a charm and elegance that is decidedly contemporary, yet conveys the timeless allure of a home that has been passed down over generations.
“"'I am not an interior designer,'" Pierre Sauvage sets the record straight. And yet, for all his protestations to the contrary, his bold aesthetic, color palette, playful pairings and enviable eye for detail are unmatched--and envied the nation over. Never one to pander to fads or trends, the assured (and autodidactic) director of luxury housewares firm Casa Lopez has blazed his own trail, mainly under the radar--until now. In his first book-cum-manifesto, Effortless Style , the former PR guru lays out the tenets of his boho philosophy and go-to essentials against the background of his own swoon-worthy home trifecta: his swish Haussmannian pad, Norman maison de campagne, and Proven”
“’I am not an interior designer,’” Pierre Sauvage sets the record straight. And yet, for all his protestations to the contrary, his bold aesthetic, color palette, playful pairings and enviable eye for detail are unmatched—and envied the nation over. Never one to pander to fads or trends, the assured (and autodidactic) director of luxury housewares firm Casa Lopez has blazed his own trail, mainly under the radar—until now. In his first book-cum-manifesto, Effortless Style, the former PR guru lays out the tenets of his boho philosophy and go-to essentials against the background of his own swoon-worthy home trifecta: his swish Haussmannian pad, Norman maison de campagne, and Provençal farm. Accessible, and refreshingly unpretentious, Sauvage’s ode to modern comfort is just the ticket to freshen up those lackluster interiors ready for summer. Our new design bible!”
