The Paris-based interior designer, Sarah Lavoine, brings a fearless graphic edge to her work – including her own grand apartment, an art-filled family home overlooking the Tuileries
Words Natasha Inchley
“Having confidence in your own sense of style is key,” says the in-demand interior designer, Sarah Lavoine, when describing her rule-breaking aesthetic. The sexy-rebel thing is ingrained: her father was the former Chief Editor of Vogue Paris during the Guy Bourdin era, her mother is an interior decorator and she counts Emmanuelle Alt and Yves Saint Laurent’s Hedi Slimane as friends.
Based in Paris, the busy working mother lives in a grand light-filled apartment with her three children Yasmine, Roman and Milo and her husband, the French singer Marc Lavoine. It's here, she combines her love of modern art with signature irreverent touches and unexpected hits of colour. The designer also recently opened the doors to her second eponymous store, a glossy black-walled space in the heart of the Saint-Germain-des-Prés neighborhood. It's the ultimate showcase for Lavoine's organically-shaped mirrors, sleek tableware and bold linens – pieces that are just as covetable as Slimane's own.
