In 2017, Emmanuelle Simon founded her own agency in Paris, where she brought her passion for interior architecture and design to life. One of her first masterpieces was her own private apartment in the heart of the city. As with all her projects, she approached this space with a holistic vision, harmoniously bringing together architecture, design and sensory experiences. We would like to take you to another impressive gem by the talented architect.
Simon designs her projects with a global vision, from the architectural elements to each individual piece of furniture. Each project is distinguished by a strong identity and a unique style. Her designs are invitations to an immersive experience, where every detail contributes to a sense of serenity and elegance. Leveraging the expertise of artisans, she creates custom-made furniture that reflects the highest standards of craftsmanship. Her designs are subtly accentuated by light, giving different perspectives to the composition of each volume. These subtle transitions play on the notion of experience, an essential part of her approach. Her aesthetic is never achieved at the expense of attention to detail, creating a balance that stands out for its uniqueness. With a penchant for neutral colours and materials such as solid wood, natural stone, patinated metals and Rakù-Yaki ceramics, Emmanuelle Simon manages to create perfectly harmonious combinations. These materials contribute to a timeless elegance and a serene ambience in her designs. Her impressive work constantly reveals new perspectives and experiences, giving each project a unique and personal touch.
One of her recent creations, which we would like to share, once again shows her attention to detail within the walls of a Parisian home. Simon sees her projects as an overall experience, from the architecture to each individual object. Each place is designed as a unique showcase with a strong identity, creating bespoke furniture in collaboration with talented artisans.
The library reflects her passion for ceramics
In the heart of Paris, where history and modernity embrace, Emmanuelle Simon has unveiled her latest masterpiece: an impressive project that perfectly embodies her signature style of raw elegance and timeless sophistication. This project reflects her profound vision of interior design, where architecture and design come together in a harmonious set of sensory experiences. From the moment you enter the apartment, you are immersed in an atmosphere of pure, natural beauty. She has created a clean and raw aesthetic, with each space designed with meticulous attention to detail. The materials chosen - from raku and chamotte plaster to frosted glass and bush hammered wood - add rich texture to the interior. These materials, combined with the subdued colour palette, create a subtle play of shadows and light that dances throughout the whole. The project is not only a showcase of Simon's design skills, but also a reflection of her personal travels and collections. Throughout the space, you will find pieces of furniture from her own collection, each telling a unique story. These pieces are complemented by items she collected during her travels, as well as artworks by her favourite artists. This gives the apartment a unique, personal touch that makes it a real home.
