Visiting Tristan Oer
Архитектор, дизайнер, декоратор Тристан Оэр (Tristan Auer) назван дизайнером 2017 года в сентябре на парижской выставке maison & objet. Впервые в России мы публикуем его собственную квартиру. «Мы живем здесь с 2005 года, — говорит Тристан. Раньше мы занимали первый этаж, но там не хватало света. Как только появилась возможность выкупить помещение на втором этаже, я это сделал и перестроил жилье в дуплекс.» Оэр среди любимых произведений в своем доме отмечает фотографии Карло Моллино (1905–1973) и Жерара Шоэна (1806–1988). Моллино знаменит мебелью сложных форм и эротической фотографией. Шоэн — неоклассик, автор многих мемориальных памятников.
