Take a look inside the Paris apartment of the up-and-coming interior designer, Fabrizio Casiraghi:
A view of the kitchen, with Casiraghi peeking through the double archway; Lucio Fontana’s study for his “Concetti Spaziali” hangs near the front door, and the table and fruit basket are by Josef Hoffmann.When it came to finding a Paris apartment for himself, the young interior designerwas willing to settle for a lot less than most of his clients. He didn’t require anything nearly as grand as, say, the 4,500-square-foot apartment he’s currently finishing in a building in the 7th arrondissement.
Casiraghi had luck on his side. His dream apartment fell into his lap—fireplace, two terraces, and all—with the first real estate ad he answered. He didn’t mind the fact that it was just 700 square feet and a fifth-floor walk-up because the space is an oldwith a huge north-facing window and a double-height ceiling in the living room.
In the kitchen, a wall piece by Enrico Castellani, a banquette covered with an old Uzbek kilim, and a 1920s wooden temple by Joseph Müller. From the kitchen, a view of one of the terraces, and a 1940s Danish painting above the sink. Casiraghi wears a Prada sweater; Acne Studios jeans; J.M.

He spent the next two years at Milan’s Dimore -Studio, the influential partnership of the interior designersthat has become a kind of design academy unto itself. “They are obsessed with light, color, the atmosphere, mixing objects,” Casiraghi says. “That is what I learned from them.” Casiraghi had already begun to think beyond Dimore when the Paris-based design agent Julien Desselle gave him free rein with his apartment in Venice.
Casiraghi’s peculiar mix of confidence and humility impressed Laurent Gardinier, who owns the Parisian restaurant Drouant with his two brothers. Gardinier, too, needed to transform an iconic venue without turning it inside out—Drouant has been around for a very long time, and it looked like it.
