Architect Jean-Michel Wilmotte: “We are in an apartment within a private mansion; I wanted to retain the rhythm of the rooms, the ceiling heights and the arrangement of the various spaces. I would say the view from the windows is the highlight of this location. That’s why I focused my whole project around this view on the Seine, the Louvre, the Pont Neuf, the Ile de la Cité… To do this, I chose to darken the rooms with a harmonious range of very warm slate grey tones, creating cocoons facing these showcases. All the light comes from outside: the urban panorama, the sky, space… This concept of darkening the rooms also serves to make the tables stand out. They are obviously the focal point of the “décor.” They are what the restaurant is all about. Covered with large white tablecloths and embellished, by turns, with crystal, porcelain, steel and artists’ creations in cut glass or painted ceramic, they are like theatrical stages that deserve to be in the spotlight.”
