Some places stay with you forever. 

For our founder and creative director Charlotte, Paris has always been one of those places. In her youth she spend almost 14 years there. She turned 60 this year and decided to become a creative nomade - living and working 4 1/2 months in her beloved Paris. Take a look inside Charlotte's colorful Paris apartment – filled with flea market treasures, vintage finds, rice favorites and everyday magic.

Charlotte had a clear vision when she began searching for an apartment for her Paris adventure. She was looking for a classic Haussmann apartment with views over the city's rooftops and an open kitchen where family and friends could gather around the table.

For Charlotte, it was all about finding a home that truly felt like Paris – even indoors. Not necessarily with a view of the Eiffel Tower, but with the unique atmosphere, elegant architecture, and iconic zinc rooftops that make the city so special.

When she stepped into this Haussmann apartment in the 9th arrondissement, she knew she had found it.

One thing was especially important when searching for a home: an open kitchen and dining area. 

Charlotte loves gathering people around the table, and the open layout allows cooking, conversations and dinners to happen in the same space. The room quickly became the heart of the apartment. 

The apartment is a mix of rice favorites, flea market treasures, vintage finds and heirlooms. 

Although the walls are white, color is everywhere - in the textiles, artwork, furniture, flowers and small objects collected over time. Together, they create a home that feels warm, personal and full of stories.
