Maison Martin Margiela’s Elle Deco Suite

Belgian designer Martin Margiela loves everything white and if he had his way he would paint the entire world white.

How fortunate that his vision in white is being fulfilled at the Elle Deco Suite at the Cite de L'Architecture. Elle Decor Magazine has given him carte blanche to decorate the former apartment of Jacques Carlu, the architect who designed the Palais Chaillot. The 220m (approx. 2400 sq. feet) is on the top floor and has sweeping views of the city and Eiffel Tower.

I love the Miss Havisham feel to the space with the dripping candle wax from the silver candelabras on the white tablecloths, tulle covered chandelier, empty Champagne bottles turned upside down, and burnt candles.

If you want throw an extravagant party, the space is available to rent for events. Please don't forget to invite me if you do.

I love the flooring! The room kind of has a spooky vibe about it.

I am dying over the photo of the white doors. Fabulous shot.
