Charlotte de Tonnac and Hugo Sauzay met at the Camondo School where they became inseparable and soon thereafter launched Festen. The rest is history - their signature style took off. Through their projects for apartments and private residences, they established their own unique design touch centered around nonchalant elegance and casual, uncluttered style. Mixing periods and genres, fascinated by the roots and history of every place, they have plunged Orso, Hôtel Rochechouart and Mikado Dancing back into the heart of the 1920s. This modern property with a taste of the past, as they describe it, was subtly inspired by the Art-Deco ambiance of the restaurant and fuses seamlessly with contemporary comfort.
Our Creative Minds
Hauvette & Madani
Interior design
Samantha Hauvette and Lucas Madani were designed to work together. They started off at Camondo and now define themselves both as interior architects and product designers who have been reinterpreting the decor of private apartments and chalets for the past 5 years. Obsessed with volumes and dimensions, they have combined their tastes and influences to create projects based on passion and instinct. The duo joined forces with Orso to design the decor of their first hotel, Le Wallace. Without a history of its own, this location was open to reinvention, and is now colored with seventies inspiration blended with Italian Riviera vibes and elegant Parisian retro style.
Gesa Hansen
Interior design
With Nordic (German-Danish) origins and an illustrious family who hail from the world of design, Gesa Hansen graduated from Bauhaus University in Weimar. She went on to study at the Fine Arts School in Nagoya (Japan) before moving to the Jean Nouvel studio. In 2009, launched her own studio, The Hansen Family, where she began to create collections of furniture hand-made by Danish craftsmen, and share her first interior design projects for shops, restaurants and private apartments. Gesa Hansen designed the decor of the Hotel Ami for Orso. She describes it as a simple and minimalist Nordic pattern that emphasizes authentic and raw materials.
Eloïse Bosredon
Interior design
Eloïse Bosredon likes modernism in architecture, functional and beautiful minimalism, pure geometric lines, and the twist of colors. She does not like 3-dimensional objects, does not follow trends or fashions. She blesses all the quality craftsmen who accompany her in her ideas. Author of the chocolate factory by Cyril Lignac, of the Parisian pastry houses Maison Aleph, and of the decor of the Hotel Voltaire in Arles, she imagines the latest opus Orso, the Hotel Orphée as a "refuge address, comfortable and in deep contrast with the urban and intense atmosphere of the capital. An ideal of purity steeped in authenticity".
BR Design
Interior design
Interior architects and founders of BR Design, Raphaëlle Levet and Bénédicte Pierens met during their first professional life together within the Hachette group where they collaborated in the teams of numerous decoration magazines for more than 10 years. After training at the Ecole Boulle, they carried out numerous architecture and decoration consulting projects: apartments for individuals, hotels, offices for Lyf Pay and MK Conseil among others... The duo claims a refined style marked by simplicity and lightness, which can be seen in the two Orso hotels they have worked on: the Hotel Doisy and the Hotel Leopold.
Selency
Interior design
Charlotte Cadé, co-founder of the Selency brand, designed the interior of the Cabane Hotel: the Togo in the lobby, vintage wooden chairs, Marcel Breuer, Bertoia, Thonet, and other pieces of design are thus placed everywhere from the entrance to the cabin, including the bar or the lounge... In the eyes of the passionate bargain hunter, offering interior design to professionals was a real opportunity to test a new form of collaboration that goes beyond simple purchases on a platform. For the Cabane, Charlotte and her teams played the role of interior decorators by scripting the spaces, bringing a 70's touch, without arrogance, even obvious.
Marion Mailaender
Interior design
Citrons et Huîtres is the new project of the interior architect and designer Marion Mailaender, originally from Marseille. Trained at the École Boulle, she imagines furniture collections, hotels and restaurants - Tuba in Marseille, the Hotel Rosalie in Paris - and artists' residences in Tangier, where genres and eras are mixed, and plays the card of audacity, elegance and humor everywhere. "Citrons et Huîtres is the image of the popular Paris," she explains. "A place with a raw steel facade reminiscent of the fronts of neighborhood fishmongers, opening through large bay windows onto the street and Parisian life."
