Signature Style
A refreshing take on classical style and absolute elegance, which they achieve through exquisite ‘French-style’ craftsmanship, the hallmark of their interiors that are highly appreciated by an international clientele.
They love
For Caroline Sarkozy, textures, feel, colours, the grandeur of onyx, marble and glass, paired with and a sense of coziness inspired by her Anglo-Saxon background. Master of the invisible, detailed and impeccable execution, Laurent Bourgois is drawn to raw materials like wood and plaster as transformed by the craftsman’s hand.
Showstoppers
The supreme made-to-measure luxury they create by using onyx in the bathrooms of private homes; and the painstaking techniques they apply to marble.
