The Rinck interior architecture and design agency took on a captivating, challenging project: transforming a care-worn Burgundian hotel, the Château de Saulon, into a top-quality boutique hotel. And that challenge was met, as the property – now completely renovated inside and out – was awarded a fourth Michelin star as soon as it reopened.
Located in the heart of Paris, in the Faubourg Saint-Honoré district, this apartment, nestled within a Haussmannian building, embodies the timeless elegance of Parisian architecture.
The renovation project involved a complete reconfiguration of the interior space, seamlessly blending the updated elements of a classic apartment with the selection and bespoke creation of contemporary furnishings.
If there’s one subject that’s often unclear to many new clients, it’s this: How does an interior architecture and design project actually unfold? Where does the interior architect’s responsibility end and where does the responsibility begin for the various companies working onsite to actually make the project a reality? What are the creative development phases?
How can one succinctly describe what makes a decoration and interior architecture agency unique? Is it a specific style? This is often the case, but the term falls short.
Galerie Rinck at 18 rue de Beaune in Paris displays the company’s contemporary creations and features a private reception lounge for clients.
In March 2020, while planning our September event, the Rinck team was overcome by a great yearning for insouciance, a desire for a life that was again carefree. Locked down like the rest of the world, we imagined getting together, sharing a drink, seeing exhibits, going out on the town, dancing. Rather like reminiscing about a simpler – albeit idealized – world of the late Seventies while standing in the midst of the unprecedented challenges of 2020. So our teams dreamed up a colorful interior, that of an enthusiastic collector, a man who would have invited us to have a drink at his place – after coming out of the legendary Le Palace nightclub – to watch the sun come up over Paris.
