High-gloss touches bring a dose of drama without sacrificing homeyness: soaring niches of verre eglomisé, or gilded glass, frame an enameled terracotta fireplace in a silvery glimmer; tabletops of enameled lava or sheet metal combine with rattan; moody moiré walls in le dressing inject glamour into the everyday. As does a lacquered fireplace in what you have to call the boudoir, in any language. Pieces by Michel Lanos, Roger Capron, Suzanne Lamié, André Derain, and Georges Jouve mix with contemporary ceramics from Forma, Johannes Nagel, and a sculptural blue fish lamp by Parisians Jade Fourès-Varnier and Vincent de Hoÿm, the pair behind Jacent. Velvety upholstered furniture like the Visconti chair from Studio Ebur balance out metallic edginess, like a bronze table by Eric Schmitt. Mixing the old with the modern, sleekness with texture, Lizée-Hugot take an almost entirely new space and make it timelessly soulful.
