“[The color] is an instinctive choice. It’s very difficult to describe
why you’ve done it. The whole suite of rooms are en feuillard, all face
the garden, which is southwest. So it’s always full of light, full of
sun. You are on the top floor of a hôtel particulier, and you know that
part of Paris doesn’t have any [tall] buildings so you just see
beautiful gardens and townhouses and it’s very magical. So for some
reason the reflection from the light, the trees, the light reflecting on
the red…it seemed logical to do a purple carpet.”
