The ‘MetaBohème’ has nothing to do with the gelida manina di Mimì, Puccini’s famous character (though icy cold hands might be what we have in store in the near future). And forget that absinthe, before or after dinner: we’re not about to wallow in our sufferings like Baudelaire.
To explain this trend, it will suffice to get away from the usual principles and to soar freely, moored to just a few essential lifelines: our moodboard creates a living area outside the usual boundaries, drawing on different eras and very different tastes. To learn how to mix things without preconceived notions, simply taking care to avoid the pitfalls of overload and kitsch.

Tastes, rules, prohibitions: everything changes, but fighting against the “moral dictate” of black is almost impossible. This is why we have decided to leave it at the base, the origin of everything. A deep dark matte finish we have combined with two wallpapers: one painted by hand and one with an architectural effect that creates an evocative setting. With links to tones of blue, the most introspective of the entire color range.
To complete the tableau, a carpet with an accent on green-blue highlights reminds us of absinthe, the ‘forbidden’ beverage appreciated by true bohemians: Proust, Baudelaire, Van Gogh, Wilde.

Having organized the ‘stanza,’ then we had to furnish it. The main item of seating is the armchair with ottoman named Twiggy, which takes us straight into Swinging London: true pop bohème. To the side, a cabinet with a precious, minimal volume in contrast with the table, a clear reference to the Orient, along with the lightness of the chandelier made by twisting a piece of paper.
For books, which the true MetaBohème owns by the truckload, the choice inevitably goes to a bookcase that vanishes in relation to the weight of culture. Also for the chairs, there are no precise rules, except for one: variety, to destroy monotony.

Where the objects are concerned, anything goes: a classic vase, a cement sculpture, a lamp in the form of a hand, with which the imagination plunges us into an Addams family setting – the most elegant and ironic non-conformists of the 20th century.
