The stylish 1 Place Vendôme restaurant is located on the 1^st floor of the Hôtel de Vendôme, a 29-room luxury boutique hotel at the heart of Paris. Italian architect Michele Bönan created an elegant couture-style interior décor, with a quietly refined ‘Dior grey’ setting, dominated by the black-and-white houndstooth armchairs motif. Perl gray velvet sofas and silver satin curtains provide an sophisticated backdrop, against which the pink silk cushions bring a touch of whimsy. While savoring a gourmet menu by chef Nicolas Rucheton, guests enjoy a magnificent view of the famous Place Vendôme and its jewellery window displays!

Sacred geometry rugs

The fabulous rugs from Swedish company Mattahari are designed by the very talented Ingrid Külper, who believes that forms and colours influence our sense of wellbeing - I cannot agree more. Her designs are inspired by the sacred geometry found in nature, from snowflakes to the human body. So her carpets are decorating spas and yoga studio as well as private homes. I absolutely like the sculptural shapes and my favorite pattern is Crown, which reminds me of a flat pinecone. Even the rugs names are inspiring, such as Seed of Life or Lotus. All carpets are handtufted and made from 100% New Zealand wool, mixed with bamboo silk for the softness and shine.
