Interiors: Balmain Paris

Hope you’ve been nice and received a lot of presents from Saint Nicholas, or at least a fun and fashionable twig. Joking, joking. 
These past few weeks we kind of skipped of on the Interiors section of this blog,  tried not too, but I post so many pretty interiors on Daily Dream Decor so maybe that’s why I tend to forget to post some here too… bad blogger, I know! Also, they have to be a little fashion related  *wink*.
Now, speaking about fashion & fashion world related interior design,  how about this glimpse into the Balmain world, decor wise of course.
These are from Christophe Decarnin reining days, and if I’m not mistaken they are from the Balmain headquarters in Paris. Quite timeless, if I may add.
The architect who is in charge of this whimsical space, Joseph Dirand , is responsible a couple of designer boutiques all around the world, from New York to Beijing and London. A couple of clients include Alexander Wang, Pucci & Rick Owens. From all the spaces I told you about, the Balmain one must be my favorite of his. You can see Joseph Dirand’s entire portfolio here.  And a little quote of his from an interview he did for Freunde Von Freunden  “I am happy, because that is my work, that is my life” …

So, yes, I kinda love everything about this elegant commercial interior, the gilted details on the walls, the mirrored halls, gorgeous drapery and little feminine touches, like the rose bouquet.
