Vincent Darré - a name I can't believe I didn't know. After randomly catching just the last picture in this series {the gold seahorse drawer and pink tufted - I love a good "tuft" - wall piece} and deciding that it had definitely been inception-ed from my dreams, I came across this greatness. It's the Parisian {of course} mansion apartment of Nerina Rossini. I know nothing about this woman other than she "keeps this place for visits" as her main residence is Greece. Well, I also know that she's kind of a genius for giving the Salvador Dali/David Lynch of design full reign over the decorative aspects of her interiors. Please, if you will, take a moment to feast your eyes on this surrealist...masterpiece.
In the guest room, the sofa-bed was custom made by Vincent Darré and covered with a linen fabric by Josef Frank {Svenst Tenn}. Sculpture is mottled brass, wall photos by Spyros Vasilas.
In the double living room, an ottoman covered in velvet {Prada} serves as a coffee table. Above, an Olympia Le-Tan Minaudier, mottled bottles and lacquer trays {both Maison Darré}. A small chair of 1920s Chinese chine is framed by two columns - A 'Crayfish Drawer and Métamorph'Os - wooden wallpaper {both Maison Darré}.

A 1940s bench made the perfect place for Vincent Darré's cushions collection - Ossobuco {Maison Darré}. Also a 1970s chine carpet, and coffee table - Basin - cast aluminum and glass {Maison Darre} upon which had been placed an antique Pucci vase, and a 1950s silver crab {Buccellati}. On the wall is an aluminum mirror - Wall made {Maison Darré}.
A console - Stilt {Maison Darré} and mottled wall sconces.
