AGAPE SPACE

The main kitchen unfolds as a continuous, flowing space where architecture becomes a backdrop for art. At its center stands a six-meter island, conceived as a sculptural object around which the entire composition is organised.

Its base is crafted from bespoke ceramics by Myrsini Alexandridi, painterly and layered, as if infused with movement of color and light. The segmentation into blocks introduces rhythm and visual lightness to the mass.

Light entering through panoramic windows connects the interior with nature, extending into the graphic presence of trees on the wall. A dark façade of natural wood unifies the space into a single canvas, against which the island emerges as a distinct and complete work in itself.

The library is conceived as a space of quiet reflection within the home, where light, material, and art come together to create a sense of calm. A glass partition featuring an image of falling water is inspired by the philosophy of Hiroshi Senju.

In Senju’s work, a waterfall is not a landscape but a state of being. The flow of water becomes a metaphor for time, infinity, and inner silence, blurring the boundaries between form and emptiness, movement and stillness.

The translucent partition softly diffuses light, creating a sense of depth and solitude. The space does not close in but slows down.

The library becomes a place of inner concentration, a quiet pause within the home, where light and movement transform into contemplation.

The work of the distinguished modernist Anni Albers served as the primary focus and inspiration for the children’s study. It establishes a clear yet vibrant visual language, where graphics become architecture, and colour becomes the emotional code of the space.

Warm Naples Yellow brings light and energy, two green shades gently connect the interior with the Portuguese nature, and a rich blue adds graphic precision and balance.

This solution also supports the overall principle of my work: art here is not decoration, but the structure of the space. The wall becomes an active architectural element, a kind of “playful score” on which the child daily reads rhythm, colour, and composition.

Tethered Veil explores a state between lightness and restraint, presence and suspension.

Hand-blown glass with subtle iridescent reflections creates a soft, diffused glow. Light here is perceived as an atmospheric condition, a luminous veil enclosed within the material.

Decorative rope cables introduce tension and equilibrium, anchoring the fragile volume in space. The contrast between fluid glass and tactile rope defines its sculptural language.

The composition is completed by a patinated blue metal element, introducing precision, depth, and a contemporary material accent.

The object is conceived as a light sculpture that operates beyond utilitarian illumination, shaping a condition of quietness, balance, and visual weightlessness.

My sincere thanks to Florence Guillier Bernard, founder of Maison Parisienne, for selecting my Sand Chords Rug for Poesie Végétale, presented within the extraordinary Hôtel Solvay, a UNESCO-protected Art Deco masterpiece owned by the Solvay family.

The exhibition takes place as part of BRAFA Art Fair, one of the leading international fairs for art and design. Seeing Sand Chords resonate so naturally within this Art Deco interior feels especially meaningful, as the rug appears to converse effortlessly with the architecture, materiality, and atmosphere of the space.

I would also like to warmly thank Stéphanie Desbant of Par Excellence for her support and collaboration, and for helping bring this presentation to life in such a remarkable setting.

Inspired by the shifting shorelines of Iceland’s Westfjords, Sand Chords translates movement, silence, and time into a tactile landscape. Hand-tufted in silk and wool with Manufacture de Tapis de Bourgogne , the rug forms part of my Wonders of Island collection.

It’s remarkable that only now I finally made my way to Le Corbusier’s villa - for the very first time in all these years. It feels like a bridge between who I am today and the girl I once was, dreaming of Paris after defending my thesis. Back then, my work explored the avant-garde of the 1920s–30s and the evolution of urban environments in Paris, London, and Moscow.
I was learning French, diving into the philosophy of modernism, reading Le Corbusier in one breath - he was one of my icons of the International Style, a living symbol of a new architectural era.

Today, his spaces may seem a bit strange, even austere. But that’s exactly their power: they hold the moment when humans first began to understand that architecture is not decoration, not status, but a living environment where life itself breathes. His belief that a home should serve the human being - offering freedom, clarity, simplicity - resonates today on a deeper level. After walking my own path, I now understand his philosophy, but through my own lens.

Freedom. The flow of energy that moves through a person and dissolves into the space around them. The harmony between human presence, light, and rational geometry - that is my principle as well. Architecture should not be a façade; it should be an instrument of life.
This is the truth: to create a space that reflects the human being - through light, art, stillness, and form.

His Modulor - a system of proportions based on the human body - creates a sense of naturalness, intuition, and physical rightness. It’s the path we all seek as we try to find harmony both around us and within ourselves.

And of course, nature. Even his strictest lines always breathe: terraces, long horizontals, panoramic views, green roofs, airy volumes. He understood the essential: architecture must never separate a person from nature.

Amen.

In Evanescence, I explore the delicate balance between disappearance and renewal a poetic reflection on the cyclical nature of life.

Inspired by dried stems that once bore blossoms and now stand ready to release the seeds of new life, the installation captures the quiet beauty of transformation where form fades, yet essence remains, and every ending holds the promise of rebirth.

In collaboration with Maison Delisle, light and material intertwine to reveal the subtle passage between presence and absence. The interplay of form, light, and shadow evokes the continuous rhythm of metamorphosis a moment suspended between memory and becoming.

Evanescence invites the viewer to contemplate the fleeting yet eternal pulse of creation, and the beauty found not only in growth, but also in release.

The last month of autumn.

A terracotta bedroom filled with soft light and a quiet sense of calm.

On the balcony, dry leaves rustle, mingling with the breath of the city.

Warm textiles envelop the space, adding tactility and depth binding light, air, and the human presence together.

In a beam of evening sun, a ginger cat rests a gentle reminder of life’s simple joys.
