When Olga Ashby<\/a> selected travertine throughout the space in this seventh arrondissement apartment on Rue de Bourgogne<\/a>, she was drawing on both geological history and contemporary design practice. The project, located steps from the Eiffel Tower, reveals Ashby\u2019s approach to Parisian interiors \u2013 using natural materials to create spaces that feel both rooted and contemporary.<\/p>\n

\"Elegant<\/a><\/p>\n

The apartment occupies a 1900 Haussmannian building, its circular layout providing the framework for Ashby\u2019s material strategy. Her material palette extends beyond stone to include rattan furniture and dark wood elements. \u201cIf given a chance, I would always use rattan in Paris; it looks very stylish there,\u201d she notes. The upholstery program features chenille, velvet, and boucl\u00e9 fabrics, each contributing different tactile qualities.<\/p>\n

Olga Ashby states: \u201cI went for a casual relaxed look, ignoring tools of symmetry. I think Paris is all about collecting. Funny enough, the flat didn\u2019t have a functioning kitchen; the flow was cut as the main bathroom opened into a corridor. I wanted to achieve a careless, cosy atmosphere, with no intended design as if pulled together by generations \u2013 no agenda, no rules. A place where different people could clearly feel they are in Paris, and it is vibrant and different from any other place on Earth.\u201d<\/p>\n

Ashby\u2019s temporal approach combines contemporary furniture with vintage finds and inherited pieces, including three mirrors with aged gold frames left by the previous owner. \u201cHaving\u00a0beautiful historical bones, we were excited about using\u00a0contemporary furniture and art, but we also shopped\u00a0vintage\u00a0as I can not imagine the project without it,\u201d she explains.<\/p>\n

The ten-month project timeline allowed for careful material sourcing and installation. Each element, from ornate lighting fixtures to comfortable seating, was selected to work within the apartment\u2019s flow between formal entertaining and private relaxation.<\/p>\n
