Christian Liaigre's epoch-defining interiors include the
Mercer Hotel in New York, offices for Valentino Couture in Paris, and
Selfridges department store in London, as well as private residences for Calvin
Klein, Karl Lagerfeld, and Kenzo.
His luxurious dark-wood minimalism and masculine palette of
creams, browns, and grays have redefined modernism, supplanting the
Scandinavian blond timbers on white that just a few years ago were the sine qua
non of the modern interior. Working in close collaboration with Liaigre,
Herbert Ypma set out to capture and document eight recent and previously
unpublished residential projects. They are incredibly diverse: a modernist
retreat on the Galician coast belonging to the family of Spanish fashion
designer Adolfo Dominguez; a former artist's atelier in Montparnasse; Rupert
Murdoch's capacious SoHo loft; an eighteenth-century Bavarian timber farmhouse
owned by the proprietor and designer of Germany's fashion label Strenesse; and
Liaigre's own fisherman's cottage retreat on the Ile de Re.
The integrity and pervasive calm of Liaigre's spaces reflect an instinctive aversion to the clamor of modern life. His materials are luxuriously authentic—exotic African timbers such as ebony; linen, silk, and wool; marble and natural stone; and his signature bronze hardware. And, as every project demonstrates, he makes deep connections with the tradition of each location, whether it be the industrial heritage of downtown Manhattan or the wild coastal landscape of Corsica.
