Designs in Place…Furstenberg
Imagine a single square, or “place” in Paris, bordered on all four charming sides by all the gorgeous design and decor brands seen flipping the pages of your favorite glossies.
Place Furstenberg in the 6th, is just this magical square.
It is a tiny, quiet corner in the heart of St-Germain des Pres left bank “chic adresse”. It has set the scene for several favorite movies – the end of “The Age of Innocence”, is one of the best.
All around, you are surrounded by the prestigious stores of design, materials, decoration and antiques.
This window has my mouth watering. The color trio of apricot, chocolate and white is just divine, delicious, and one of my next parties!
Same here – the blush, raspberry, fuscia combination c’est parfait. It is the color palette in play this weekend for our gorgeous Peninsula wedding – and cannot wait.
I don’t know that I have ever wandered into the place without at least one artist at work on a painting or sketch. Many artists have painted this romantic Place, and it has been the subject of many famous paintings throughout the years.
One such artist is Eugene Delacroix. Musée Delacroix is a beautiful respite in the square. This Musée is where the artist lived and worked until his death in the 1860s – and it is totally preserved with his studio in place.
This lovely little square was named after the famous Prince of Furstenberg, a descendent of the Emperor Napoleon. Of course I always think of Diane and my favorite wrap dresses and prints…
The square and the entire surrounding Rue Jacob, Rue de Buci neighborhood itself truly evokes the feeling of romance that Paris is so well known for.
It is a place, perfectly Paris.
