Their signature is straw marquetry — paille marquetée, the painstaking craft that lines their Iris coffee table — alongside a house-made opaline glass crystal, produced in their own French atelier, that diffuses light with the soft glow of alabaster. Each collection reads as a quiet homage: to Jean-Michel Frank, to Gio Ponti, to a French modernism CSLB continues to reinterpret today.
The Zamalek Stool was originally created by CSLB Studio for the PAD Elle Decoration show, designed specifically to put the expert hand of French artisans on full display. Its structure in solid oak supports a cushion upholstered in linen and silk, a fabric pairing chosen by Caroline Sarkozy and Laurent Bourgois to let noble, tactile materials speak for themselves.
An alternate version replaces the oak with lacquered wood and dresses the seat in velvet, offering two distinct moods from the same silhouette. Compact enough to move easily between rooms yet substantial enough to anchor a corner, the Zamalek Stool distills CSLB’s larger philosophy: craftsmanship first, ornament only where the material itself earns it.
Trained at Parsons School of Design in New York, Caroline Sarkozy gained extensive experience working for the exacting Andrée Putman. A nomadic childhood between Asia, the Middle East and the USA, gives her a panoramic approach to influences and styles. Laurent Bourgois graduated from the École nationale supérieure des Beaux-Arts in Paris and has over the years focused on Architecture and Interior Architecture projects in the private sector. Together, they have a refreshing take on classical style and absolute elegance achieved through exquisite “A la française” craftsmanship, a trademark of their interiors, which is appreciated by their private international clientele.
