The Art of Home Decor: Vincent Darre for Maison Darre



Longtime fixture of the European fashion scene which include stints at Prada, Fendi, Chanel, Moschino and Emanuel Ungaro, Vincent Darre has bravely branched out into the world of home decor. Maison Darre, located in Paris's First Arrondissement, houses such objects as wallpapers, rugs, furniture and limited-edition pieces that make this space seem more like a house than a gallery. "I like to think of it as a chaotic and surrealistic laboratory, close in spirit to the Wiener Werkstatte, " he says. "Every piece is numbered, and my artist friends will collaborate on special pieces for this metaphysical place."
