FOOD FOR THOUGHT

// One day I will find the right words, and they will be simple. //

A BUTCHER SHOP INTO HOME / PAUL COUDAMY

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Tastes are different and there can be thousands of interpretations of the same thing, and all of them good. Designing a home for someone is personal and should be tailored to the future residents habits. Converting a former butcher's shop in suburban Paris into a private residence is interesting enough but,  installing a tilted mirror above the bookshelf so the owner can keep an eye on his parked motorcycle while relaxing in his armchair is the detail that makes a house and the owner a happy couple.

ANAHI / MAUD BURY

//Anahi is a cozy haunt whose original lively Argentinian bistro aura has been tamed to welcome Paris’ well-heeled foodies, but whose roots, despite its chic new interiors, remain very much in place. Address: 49 rue Volta, 75003 Paris, France. Open every evening for dinner only.// published in: Restaurants/Bars By Rooksana Hossenally, 18 November 2014

The interior design of this new restaurant, a former charcuterie founded over thirty years ago by the Argentinean sisters Carmina and Pilar, is the work of Barcelona-based designer Maud Bury. She played with the original features of space and used its existing condition in a clever way that resembles somewhat of Kintsugi, the Japanese art of mending broken porcelain with gold. Her overall intervention was gentle but had a strong impact, kept the old charcuterie's strong soul and identity but giving it a glamorous bling. Like salt and honey, she made an unusual combination you'd think won't work but turns out to bring out the best from each other. The little things mean quite a lot.
