When the apartment above Marie-Sixtine\u2019s flagship store in Paris\u2019s 11th Arrondissement opened up, the two-year-old fashion line decided to apply its look to interiors. Working with art director\/designer Sandrine Place and architect Baptiste Legu\u00e9, the brand dreamed up Chez Marie-Sixtine, a candy-colored \u201cconfidential cocoon\u201d cast in the image of the boho gamine its crop tops and playsuits are made for.<\/p>\n

In lieu of a living room, there\u2019s a dinner-party-ready kitchen\/dining area\u2014terrazzo counter included\u2014plus a cabin-like bedroom and one of the most inventive bathrooms we\u2019ve seen in a good while. And who knew pom-poms could be put to use as a sea-urchin-like wall mural, or that an Eames side chair takes so well to a knit slipcover? The two-room retreat is reserved for \u201cspecial guests of Marie-Sixtine,\u201d but it\u2019s filled with ideas for all to grab.<\/p>\n

Above: The 70-square-meter (approximately 753-square-foot) apartment is painted in contrasting Farrow & Ball pastels, from floor to vintage Windsor dining chairs to ceiling. The designers had the dining table made in Portugal of live-edge cork oak and brass.<\/p>\n

Above: The compact kitchen is painted Pink Ground and features terrazzo counters and a backsplash with a display ledge. Something of a lost art in the US in recent decades, terrazzo has been on the rise again. \u201cIt\u2019s less expensive than marble,\u201d Sandrine Place tells us. \u201cAnd you can choose the color you want and also the size of the stone shards.\u201d The range and tiny induction cooktop are from Ikea and the cabinets are custom.<\/p>\n

Above: Marie-Sixture specializes in knitwear, and its shops are decorated with pom-poms: wreaths, plants, and a pom-pom-filled bath. This garland was created in the colors of the apartment by textile designer Camille Dupuis and natural dye specialist Aurelia Wolff of Atelier Whole.<\/p>\nbahasa\n

Above: Alape bucket sinks\u2014see Design Sleuth\u2014with DIY copper faucets are mounted on a terrazzo wall in the adjoining bath. The lights are from the sixties, and, like the ones in the kitchen, were found in Berlin.<\/p>\nbahasa\n

Above: Black ceramics and neon-edge towels stand out against the black-speckled wall. \u201cThe terrazzo on the wall is set in one-square-meter plates,\u201d says Place. \u201cIt seems to be easy to do, but you need to have experience, so it\u2019s best to work with a professional.\u201d<\/p>\nbahasa\n
