When furniture designer\u00a0Herv\u00e9 Van der Straeten<\/strong>\u00a0and his husband, Bruno Frisoni, decided to sell their loft-like apartment in Paris\u2019s 12th arrondissement, they set out looking for something different.\u00a0What they found was a 1,750-square-foot one-bedroom apartment on the \u00cele Saint-Louis, right in the center of the city.<\/p>\n

The pair did very little work in the \u00cele Saint-Louis apartment. They simply repainted the walls, which were formerly what Van der Straeten describes as a \u201ccold white,\u201d mostly substituting neutral tones like cream, a pale aqua green and a pinkish beige.<\/p>\n\n \"Limited<\/a>\n

Not surprisingly, Van der Straeten filled the interiors largely with his own creations. These include his angular, origami-like R\u00e9action mirror, in the library; his Chinese-inspired Shanghai armchairs, in the living room; and, in the dining room, his Perturbation table, whose base is composed of stainless-steel cubes stacked in higgledy-piggledy fashion.<\/p>\n

Van der Straeten and Frisoni\u2019s approach to art is similarly eclectic. Works in the \u00cele Saint-Louis apartment range from a 16th-century Flemish canvas depicting Venus and the Four Seasons to one of\u00a0Massimo Vitali\u2019s iconic beach photos and a rock-like sculpture in metal by Pierre Malphettes. \u00a0\u201cWe generally buy things very quickly and without regret,\u201d says Frisoni. \u201cIt\u2019s more a question of instinct than something thought through.\u201d<\/p>\n
