Pasolini in Chiaroscuro

Living Beautifully in Paris by Mathilde Favier is a warm, intimate portrait of Parisian domestic life at its most beautiful — the private homes of artists, designers, antique dealers, and passionate amateurs who have created interiors of extraordinary personal character in one of the world’s most beautiful cities. Favier, a longtime Dior executive with a deep personal knowledge of Parisian style, opens the doors to spaces that are never available to tourists but represent the true essence of how the most design-conscious Parisians live. The photography is exceptional, capturing not just the objects and arrangements but the particular quality of light and lived-in warmth that distinguishes a genuine home from a staged interior. Published by Flammarion, an inspiring volume for anyone who dreams of Parisian living.
