ELLE-DECOR-Luxurys new look

THE CONSTRUCTION of this grand house in New Delhi required a colossal leap of faith. In 2002, when Nasreen Qureshi and her husband, Moin, acquired the five-acre plot on which it now stands, she immediately suggested they hire Jean- Louis Deniot to design the home. Today, the Paris- based decorator is a global interiors star. But back then he was just starting out and had never built a home from the ground up—not even in Europe. “What’s his style?” Moin recalls asking his wife. “I don’t know,” Nasreen told him. She’d never actually seen any of Deniot’s work; she’d simply sat next to him at a dinner party in New York and found him charming. “I just liked him,” she says. “But my husband was very upset. He said, ‘He’s a French guy and he’s never been to India. What kind of house can he make?’” Moin had every reason to be concerned. He and his wife are a dynamic, self-made couple with exceptional taste to spare. He made his fortune as one of India’s largest meat exporters. She is a woman of style, known for her love of couture (her favorite designers include Giorgio Armani and Raf Simons for Dior). The couple have known each other since childhood and had been looking for the right property for more than five years when they came across this piece of land in a district south of the city called Chattarpur Farms. As the name suggests, the area was formerly agricultural. Today, it is a sought-after enclave that contains some of New Delhi’s most exclusive residences. When the Qureshis found the lot of their dreams, it was far from promising—simply a field of wheat with a small pond and a dozen century-old trees. For Nasreen, however, it was very much love at first sight. “I walked onto it and thought, This is mine,” she says. “I don’t know why. Just like I didn’t know why I wanted to call Jean-Louis. My instincts! It just gave me a feeling of calmness.” With amusement, she recalls Deniot’s first trip to India, on which he was accompanied by his sister, Virginie. “They wanted to stop every five yards to take a photo of the cows on the road,” Nasreen says, laughing. “I told them, ‘You don’t have to stop. In India, the cows are everywhere.’” The Qureshis themselves keep three for milking behind one of their pool pavilions. The starting point for the design of the 25,000-square-foot, five-bedroom home was a photo of Picasso’s 19th-century Villa California in Cannes. “I wanted a house that looks 100 years old,” Nasreen explains. She also wanted to step through the front door and be able to see the pool and gardens beyond. Deniot, however, was keen to avoid the impres- sion of a French house transplanted to India. Instead, he took inspiration from the architecture

STROKE of LUCK A schoolgirl fantasy comes true when designer Alejandra Redo moves into a house she had long coveted, transforming it with her own bold vision TEXT BY ELISABETH MALKIN · PHOTOGR APHY BY SIMON UPTON PRODUCED BY ANITA SARSIDI Half a century ago, Alejandra Redo used to wonder about the house stretch out for untold miles on the other side of the ivy.

Years later, when she met the man who would become her husband, Redo made one important change to the house, designed in a he introduced her to his aunt Paz Cuesta Moreno, a socialite known French country style by Mexican architect José Parada in the 1950s. for her beauty.

In that word, painted a deep red and decorated with antiques, old Mexican house, Cuesta Moreno had entertained actors who were the lumi- silver, books, and photos of relatives and friends, including Ronald naries of Mexico’s golden age of cinema. “She loved to have people and Nancy Reagan and the Colombian painter Fernando Botero. here in the house,” says Redo. Redo’s sense of design is as varied as her friendships. “You can have It has been more than three decades since the house passed to modern, old, some expensive and not expensive things—everything Redo, an interior designer, who remodeled it and moved in with her is important,” she says, sitting in a living room centered around a two young sons after she was divorced. “It’s always been the house text painting by Canadian artist Graham Gillmore and accented by of my dreams,” she says. Like the hostess who preceded her, Redo an antique Persian rug that has been passed down in her family. fills her home with guests and invites friends and other visitors— “My aunt is the most creatively elegant person I know,” says her “nice ones, the simpáticos”—to an open-house lunch every Tuesday. nephew Jorge Almada, cofounder of Casamidy, a design company Sitting on the terrace of cantera stone that she installed, it seems that reimagines traditional Mexican forms and craftsmanship to almost impossible that giant, rumbling, chaotic Mexico City could create innovative contemporary furniture and accessories.

FACING PAGE: A Casamidy chair in the master bath is upholstered with a fabric designed by Redo, the mirror and French sink are both 19th century, and the floor is Carrara marble. See Resources.

As children, Redo and her three siblings lived in a large house in central Mexico City with their grandparents while their parents ran a sugar plantation in the northern state of Sinaloa. “When we were young, we were surrounded by old things and we were ashamed,” Redo says. “When we grew up, we realized how lucky we were.” Many of those old things, like an 18th-century traveling desk with bone inlay, have found their way into her house, where she gives them new life in vivid combinations. As she tells her clients: “You can be really eclectic.” So eclectic that Redo is not afraid to push boundaries. That means putting a vintage ceramic pig in the living room or finding a spot on an antique console in the entry hall for a green ceramic fish that caught her eye in Paris. Such touches of irrev- erence are everywhere. Two large Chinese porcelain Famille Rose vases inherited from her grandmother stand guard at the entrance to the dining room, and above one of them Redo has hung a geometric painting by the cheeky Mexico City–based artist Pedro Friedeberg. Redo’s other great passion is textiles. She buys traditional fabrics from all over Mexico and Colombia, turning them into cushions or shawls that she drapes over furniture. Many of her rugs are designed by her or her friend Mary Stuart, an American artist who lives in Mexico, and woven in traditional workshops in Oaxaca. Redo sees possibilities everywhere. A blue-and-white floral design on the upholstery of a Casamidy chair in her dressing room was embroidered by her grandchildren’s nanny, following a traditional pattern from her village in Mexico. The house is constantly a work in progress. “I’ve had it green, peach, yellow, white, and now it’s like a taupe,” she says of her living room wall. “I mix the colors myself.” But what always stays the same is her fearless, deeply personal decorative mix. A little Mexican altar at the top of the staircase is populated by religious figurines and candles flickering in tin holders—“my kitsch,” she says—around a photo of her father who died a decade ago. It does not seem incon- gruous at all in a house filled with antiques and striking contempo- rary art. “You can always find a place for things you love ,” she says. “Nothing is impossible.” ◾

THE GOLDEN TOUCH A young French-American design firm brings a fresh vision of luxury to a grand 19th-century apartment in Paris, infusing it with light and air, and just enough gilded glamour TEXT BY DANA THOMAS · PHOTOGR APHY BY SIMON UPTON PRODUCED BY ANITA SARSIDI

The Jean-Michel Frank–style armchairs in the living room were purchased at the Clignancourt flea market, the rugs were custom made in Bel- gium, and the drawing is a 2005 untitled work by Richard Serra; the original paneling was restored and painted in Farrow & Ball Estate Emulsion in Skimming Stone. See Resources. 214 ELLEDECOR.COM

hree years ago, a leader in the French t art scene and his life partner, who works in the fragrance industry, decided it was time to move out of their Paris townhouse rental and buy their own place. They came across a 2,600-square-foot Haussmanian apartment in Nouvelle Athènes—or “New Athens”—a section in the north of the city named for its interesting architecture, constructed in the early 19th century. Back then, Nouvelle Athènes was the epicenter of Paris culture—among its residents were Victor Hugo, Camille Pissarro, George Sand, Frédéric Chopin, and Paul Gauguin. The owner liked that idea as much as the flat, which was on the second floor and retained its original herringbone oak parquet and soaring 11-foot-high ceilings. But he wanted a second opinion. He rang the designer duo Kelli Wilde and Laurent Cham- peau, who had just left Tino Zervudachi to start their own firm. They liked it too, and had loads of ideas on how to refashion it. He agreed, bought the place, and became their first client. The strength of the Champeau-Wilde partner- ship is their bicultural point of view: Wilde is a Seattle-born American who arrived in Paris in 1987 as a student and worked in art galleries before join- ing Zervudachi’s renowned firm; Champeau is a born-and-raised Parisian who studied at L’Institut Supérieur des Arts Appliqués. This New World– Old World mix comes through in their work, and particularly shines in the Nouvelle Athènes flat. The apartment’s major charm was the double séjour, two salons connected by French doors. One originally may have served as a music room; the ornate plaster moldings include shapes of musi- cal instruments. The designers decided to restore these two gems, redoing the wiring and repairing the moldings. The parquet, however, was in such

The table and velvet-upholstered chairs in the kitchen are from Knoll, the photograph is by Jeff Wall, and the Louis XVI–style side chair from Onsite Antiques is covered in a Lizzo velvet; the existing herringbone parquet was stained in a custom color.

In the dining room, an Olafur Eliasson sculp- ture sits on a table by Hervé Van der Straeten, the chandelier is by Robert Lemariey, and the photo work is by Gilbert & George; the lamp is by Porta Romana, and the rug is by Parsua. FACING PAGE, CLOCKWISE FROM TOP LEFT: A photograph by Hedi Slimane hangs on a din- ing room wall painted in Farrow & Ball Estate Emulsion in Skimming Stone.

bad shape they stained it gunmetal gray to create a modern feel and hide its flaws. The rest of the apartment needed a total over- haul. “They entertain a lot and wanted guests to be able to flow easily from room to room,” says Wilde. To make that work, the designers moved the kitchen from the far end of the apartment— the traditional location back when there were staff and servant stairwells—to the front, next to the public rooms, in what was a “dumpy old bed- room,” says Wilde. They added a jib door to con- nect it to the entrance hall so caterers could slip in and out discreetly, then reconfigured the old kitchen, which faced the courtyard, into a quiet guest room suite. They removed all the moldings in the entrance, dining room, and bedrooms, and painted the walls neutral tones, such as Farrow & Ball’s Skimming Stone, to make spare surfaces for the couple’s contemporary art collection. For furnishings, they started nearly from scratch: The residence had been, as Wilde put it, “stuck in the early 1990s,” clean and sharp with white walls and black floors, and furnishings to match. “We wanted to be subtle and calm, to have some depth but not be in your face,” she says. Champeau adds: “We felt they needed something more sophisti- cated and wanted to bring them to colors gently.” The palette leans to soft grays, punctuated with purple and gold. A 1950s curved sofa from the Porte de Clignancourt flea market was re-covered in a dove-gray mohair-cotton, topped off with pur- ple satin pillows. To complement it, they chose a Mattia Bonetti oval table and, as luck would have it, when they called Bonetti’s representative in Paris, Galerie Kreo, the only one in stock was purple.

To make the salons more socially engaging, Champeau designed a second, low-slung sofa, which he and Wilde bookended with 1930s glass- and-bronze tables bought at the Drouot auction house, and a pair of lamps commissioned from Los Angeles ceramic artist Peter Lane. They added Jean-Michel Frank–style chairs from Clignan- court to round out the modernist feel of the room. The kitchen was designed to highlight two major artworks by Vincent Beaurin and Jeff Wall— “museum-quality pieces,” says Champeau. The designers chose walnut paneling, which acts like frames for the artworks and creates a warm atmo- sphere. The kitchen has since become “the heart of the apartment,” Wilde says, where the owners “spend their time talking and cooking.” The master bedroom and new adjoining bath— which was built in the old butler’s pantry—are light and airy, with plenty of windows and doors, which give the suite a “greater sensation of space,” Wilde explains. The result is contemporary with a slightly 1930s air. “If you look at design today, you can see that it is rooted in the ’30s,” says Champeau. “During that period, designers went from curved to straight lines, less froufrou and more function.” Wilde concurs: “It was an era of really brilliant design.” One that has been beautifully reinterpreted. ◾ 220
