HALLWAY
Thisspacious apartment in Paris owes its contemporary clean lines and shapes to architect Sophie Dries.
Originally made up of two separate apartments, the space has been completely reconfigured into one flowing space.Obstructive doorways have been removed and replaced by arches to create a better flow between the rooms.
The colourful mosaic above the doorway is by Space Invaders, and was inspired by 1990s video games.

LIVING ROOM
Two living rooms have been knocked together into one generous double reception area.
In the main living area, a corner sofa sits opposite two coffee tables and a vintage Philippe Starck chair.
The brick coloured rug complements the reddish brown curtains, whilethe bookshelf displays small sculptures and a painting by Giulia Adreani.
The mantelpiece is used as a display for two 19th century ceramics and a pair of plaster candleholders which were designed by Sophie Dries.
Sophie Dries has given the classic architecture of the space a fresh new look, incorporatingsharp and radical lines.
Raw materials like linens, natural wool carpets, and modern ceramic light fixtures add warmth, while urban street art contrasts against the property's period features.
A painting by Banksy is the central piece in this double space.
The furniture is a collection of design classics, with vintage pieces by Hans Wegner, Eero Saarinen and Charlotte Perriand, as well as more recent work from the 1990s by Philippe Starck.

A striking grey lacquered vintage stool by Philippe Starck makes a style statement.
Above the corner seat is a watercolour by Giulia Andreani.
