special creative process."
Ten artisans of Par Excellence — among
the 11 total, with Declercq Passementiers
— worked on the project: Ateliers Saint-
Jacques for the joinery wall structures, a
wooden console, a marble coffee table, a
bronze chimney and a marble dining table;
Manufacture de Tapis de Bourgogne in
collaboration with Ateliers Saint-Jacques
for the hand tufted wall-to-wall rug called
'Lingot'; Auberlet et Laurent and Ozone
for the cupola; Atelier de Ricou for the
walls covered by textured graphic stripes;
Jouffre for the wall upholstery panels;
Souchet and Jouffre for the circular sofa,
two assorted armchairs and the 10 chairs
displayed around the dining table; Ateliers
Lison de Caunes for the two charcoal gray
straw marquetry panels; Meljac for the
switches and power outlets in a bespoke
gun barrel finish mixed with golden details;
and HENRI for the electrical controls, from
lights and curtains to temperature, audio
and video systems.
"I wanted the place to feel more like a
residential space and create a flow, a
sense of motion within the restrictive
rectangular form of the room," says
Pheasant. "The dome brings the circular
designs into focus while giving the place
a unique signature."
Throughout the year, exclusive events
— such as expert talks with artisans and
private dinners — will be organized on a
regular basis.
"As ambassadors of French savoir-faire
based in New York, we are eager to
source excellent and rare craftsmanship
and bring it to light," says Bouchez.
