Here are two different restaurants

from Philippe Starck‘s universe. The first one is Parisian and accessorizes tradition with refinement in a very beautiful space: the Cristal Room Baccarat. And the other one is recent and Beijiner: the Lan, a baroque delirium of three thousand meters by square, where the best is mixed with the worst of the designer. By the worst, I mean, something already seen: Starck’s best sellers of his previous designs and constructions. I’ve still enjoyed his space’s dramatization. Always dramatic.

Cristal Room Baccarat 

Girls diner in the small room with the famous black chandelier. After the fun surprise of the giant chair in the big hall, near the huge stairs leading to the restaurant, you’ll notice those heavy imposing chandeliers. A vertigo of chandeliers and beautiful restroom.

Lan

Discovered when I interviewed Caroline Deleus, the fashion designer and owner of Mushi. Mongolian fanciful yurts, as private spaces, finest nomadic luxury. Restroom, big mirrors cubes, atmospheric red.
