Where does this style come from?
Straight out of the 1770s in France, this elegant and distinguished trend reminds us of the decorations of yesteryear. Charged and sophisticated, it is characterized by a complete dressing of the room, no small corner is neglected. This style is totally the opposite of the minimalist one, here, we try to provoke, to mix textures, colours and patterns in order to confirm our uniqueness. In the past, these fragmented decors allowed to put forward the wealth of the owners, ornaments, luxurious furniture, expensive textiles, all the small details were essential to concretize this social status.
