You feel like hugging a tweedy sofa by Roche Bobois, petting the ‘Little Petra’ sheep-chair by &tradition and listening to the whisper of Verpan lamp’s iridescent mother of pearl disks.

New ‘guests’, from preschool crafts to travel discoveries, can easily fit into this eclectic surroundings. To secure a space of 125 m²... More
