Bruno Frisoni's Moroccan home

Herve Van der Straeten ceiling fixture and arched console welcome guests in the entrance hall below.

Bruno Frisoni, the designer behind the shoe brand Roger Vivier shares a vacation home in Tangier, Morocco with his partner the designer Herver Van Der Straeten.  As much as I love Roger Vivier's shoes, Herve Van Der Straeten is by far one of my favorite furniture designers.  Everything he creates is beyond extraordinary, chic, unique, inventive and like nothing else.  The result of their home is simply gorgeous.  Enjoy!

Custom made klismos chairs surround a Van der Straeten table.

Amazing door to the kitchen and beautiful fretwork on the cupboards. 

 Love the bathroom.

In the colorful guest bedroom the walls are upholstered in a striped carpet.

One of my favorite homes: Marie Chantal Miller House

An amazing Herve van der Streaen chandelier and a English convex mirror glam the Vienne bench.  

I love this entrance so much so that I have it in my inspirational board since 2006.

The London townhouse of Princess Marie-Chantal Miller of Greece and her family, designed by François Catroux, has been one of my favorite homes.  This home was published in House and Garden magazine in 2006 and it still feels so up-to-date.  The neutral, warm palette throughout is revived with contemporary art.  The incredible art collection mingles with Herve van der Straeten exquisite pieces and custom furniture by the Francois Catroux.  Many people would think that this house is too formal but, besides being the house of a royal family, it is a house that's also located in London which would call for a more formal environment than a house in the country or in the beach.  

Marie-Chantal poses in front of a Donald Baechler.  If anyone out there wants to give me a gift, please make it a Donal Baechler painting.  Thank u :)

 Another Viennese ebony & silver chair looks gorgeous against the rest of the upholstery pieces.

T.H. Robsjohn-Gibbings designed dining chairs surround a custom made table by Catroux.  The chandelier is by Claude Lalanne and the mirror is Herve van der Streaten. 

Or if you really want to be nice, you can also give me a Jean-Michael Basquiat.  Just like this one or any other.  Enjoy!

Friday eye candy: Herve Van Der Straeten's Home

Herve Van Der Straeten's home was published back in 2007 in Architectural Digest Spain and many of you may remember it.  For those who don't, it's one of those houses that looks like no other.  Van Der Straeten is a trained painter, jewelry designer and finally designer of very unique pieces of furniture and lighting that is always full of movement and fun-filled shapes.  Enjoy!
