Near Paris, An '80s House's Stunning Geometry is Revealed By Its New Homeowners
Briefly

The private sleeping area combines bedroom, dressing room, and bathroom into a large suite separated by two sliding linen doors framed in fine light wood. A light matcha green headboard and light wood elements create a calming contrast against the suite's white. Full-height sliding doors integrated into the headboard lead to a bathroom with Mediterranean-inspired rectangular terracotta tiles. Furniture mixes vintage finds (an antique dining table, a Mies van der Rohe ottoman, an Arne Jacobsen chair) with pieces from the Matera-Matang workshop assembled through stitching, weaving, paper-cord joins, clapboard fronts, and burnt-wood finishes. The kitchen uses two oak shades and an okoume library-island unified by a natural stone top, designed as an oversized multi-function prep workshop.
The combined bedroom, dressing room, and bathroom feels like a large suite. Two sliding linen doors with frames made of a fine light wood create an almost Japanese-style separation between these functional areas. The bedroom itself exudes a calming atmosphere by way of a light matcha green headboard and light wood elements, which stand out against the white of the suite. Full-height sliding doors that look as if they've been integrated into the headboard lead to the bathroom which showcases Mediterranean-inspired rectangular terracotta tiles.
Though there are only a few pieces, each has been consciously and deliberately chosen. Some are vintage finds, like an antique dining room table, a Mies van der Rohe ottoman, and a chair by Arne Jacobsen. Many stools, tables, and nightstands were sourced from the Matera-Matang architecture and furniture workshop, founded in 2022 by Ophélie Dozat and Lucien Dumas. All of their pieces are structured and assembled using a variety of methods, from stitching and weaving to wooden pieces held together by a paper cord.
