French Style 
by Suzanne Slesin & Stafford Cliff, photographs by Jacques Dirand (Thames & Hudson, 1988).

A study of French interiors guided by instinct rather than rules. Rooms shaped through personal choices, open to contrast, and formed over time. We selected our favourite pages and saved this quote:

“It is through an impassioned choice of furniture, objects, and spaces, and through the luxury of the unexpected that houses sometimes are sublime.”

An approach close to how we think about objects. Chosen with care, emotion, and curiosity, and placed together to shape a way of living.
