To celebrate its 10th edition, AD Intérieurs staged a wonderful exhibition in Paris, inviting 13 design and architecture studios to create some original livable spaces. Among the designers in the spotlight, five names should sound familiar, as they are part of our roster of talents: Bismut & Bismut, Humbert & Poyet, Atelier Tristan Auer, Thierry Lemaire, Pierre Gonalons and Stéphane Parmentier artistic director of Creations Dragonfly. All of them displayed their usual unsurpassed creativity to conceive the most unexpected dreamlike spaces.
For this year edition, Tristan Auer presents Le wagon-bar pour Orient-Express :
Inside and outside, past and future are intertwined in this hybrid space. The Empire green lacquered sheet metal wall panels evoke the mythical railway cars when the historic armchairs dating from 1920 or the carpet signed Suzanne Lalique refer to their interior layout. The Asian silks coloured in canvas on the ceiling symbolise the rebirth of L’Orient-Express as a hotel brand that will inaugurate its first address in Bangkok in 2020. It’s all about travel and blending.
