Thanks to the different editorials of Zara Home, on many occasions we have the pleasure of “entering” different houses and environments. And although sneaking into the houses of instagramers and fashionable people of the moment is very good, doing it in great houses icons of architecture, as in this case it is a privilege.
On this occasion, and with the excuse of the presentation of its latest news Zara Home “sneaks” into the mansion of Louis Carré, a French collector and gallery owner who commissioned Alvar Aalto in 1956 (one of the fathers of modern architecture together with Le Corbusier and Mies Van der Rohe), the construction of his house, which was to function as a house-art gallery.
Built between 1957 1959 Alvar Aalto, participated in the choice of house detail. It chose from its hilltop location in Bazoches-sur-Guyonne, outside Paris, to custom-designed materials and furniture.
The Maison Louis Carré it is, therefore, a total experience. A house that adapts to the topography of the landscape and the landscape and that shows many of the constants of Alvar Aalto’s work, such as the curved profiles that surprise inside, distorting the rectangular shapes and the use of diagonal lines, creating shapes. organic but in a subtle way.
Inside, the change of materials and textures is constant. Wood is used in different ways in the interior creating rhythms and variations of materials.
The editorial images allow us to see in great detail these nuances of the house but also, and in addition to the importance and beauty of the house, we must not lose sight of some of the news of Zara Home, which although it continues to give priority to materials surprises with notes of color, bet for alabaster as a material of the moment and includes some pieces that it is quite possible to go to be part of the highly desired ones such as the leather armchair or the striped rug.
