Maison de vente
aux enchères

Designed for an international auction house specialising in collectible watches and jewellery, these private lounges, dedicated to presenting exceptional pieces offered for sale, create an environment deliberately removed from the traditional codes of commercial space.

The project is organised as a sequence of rooms with distinct uses: reception areas, conversation lounges, presentation rooms and more confidential consultation spaces. Circulation connects them while maintaining the degree of privacy required for discussions and the presentation of high-value pieces.

The interior architecture is based on the dialogue between two registers. A classical vocabulary of wall panelling, mouldings and proportions drawn from residential architecture meets a more abstract contemporary intervention: large dark surfaces, technical ceilings conceived as continuous planes and furniture with deliberately reduced lines.

The palette is deliberately restrained. Warm whites and ivory tones form the backdrop, punctuated by black and metallic details. Generously proportioned seating with organic lines introduces a more domestic scale, while tables, consoles and bookcases add a more graphic presence and structure the different settings.
