Ah, Paris... Who hasn't dreamed of living in Paris at some point? The French capital always has

been, and always will be, a magnet for artists, musicians, writers, architects, antique collectors,

and designers the world over. And the Parisian homes of this exciting international crowd are

replete with inspiration for interior design.

This volume offers us exclusive access into twenty of the city's most original, intriguing,

quirky, bold, elegant, and refined interiors. The Parisian home of renowned interior designer

Jacques Garcia juxtaposes ethnic elements with modern art, while Lenny Kravitz's sumptuous

estate is accented by objects from his own design firm, Kravitz Design, Inc., as well as personal

memorabilia from legends such as James Brown, John Lennon, and Jimi Hendrix. From a bucolic

oasis just a stone's throw away from the Seine to a baroque fantasy hidden inside a stately

Haussmannian building, and from a futuristic design lair in Saint-Germain-des-Prés to a

Russian dacha nestling in the attic of an hôtel particulier , the interiors unveiled by discerning style

mavens Barbara and René Stoeltie are as diverse as they are astonishing. Vivid photographs

capture every detail and provide fresh ideas for the home.
