Avec Amour.

We've always been big fans of interior designer Chahan Minassian so we were delighted to see his work featured in a new book entitled Parisian Interiors: Bold, Elegant, Refined. Born in Lebanon, into an Armenian family, Minassian arrived in France in 1976. After studying interior design in Paris, he began working at Ralph Lauren where for seven years he was the creative director for their European division. In 1993, he created his own interior design firm, Chahan Interior Design, rapidly attracting commissions in the United States, Canada, and Japan, as well as in Europe.

In addition to Minassian's project, this handsome book also lets you peek into 19 more of the city's most original interiors. Captured in lush and vivid photographs, these private dwellings offer readers access into the homes of some of the city's most fascinating inhabitants-Lenny Kravitz, Roberto Bergero, Yves and Victor Gastou, Jacques Garcia, Pierre Yovanovitch, to name a few-to provide a wealth of inspiration for the home. Available where fine books are sold, this is definitely one tome worth adding to your design library. (Photographer: Rene Stoeltie)
