MICHAEL MALAPERT
Michael Malapert launched his interior design agency in 2005. From the
start he developed living and commercial spaces on a national level. His work
reflects the codes of contemporary luxury, always factoring in the historical
context of each project and taking into account function as well as the energy
released by the space itself.
Michael’s visual vocabulary enhances the well-being always designing
sustainability and is a balance between form and function. Each project tells
a story through the architecture and design, enhancing the ergonomics of
each space to provide a clear path.
His approach can be equated to that of a chef preparing a gastronomic meal:
choosing and assembling the ingredients (materials, lights, volumes) to form
the basis of a coherent study; Selecting the artisans based on their proficiency;
Overseeing the construction to ensure the quality of each part. Choosing to
work with what the space has to offer instead of demolishing ; keeping the
authenticity of the places as much as possible.
In recent years Michael has enjoyed amazing success and built an incredible
range of projects ; the Speakeasy, the bar of the Jules and Jim hotel, Yuman
the 100% organic restaurant, A-Noste, the gourmet restaurant of chef Julien
Duboué, the bistronomic Colonel Moutarde or Kristin Frederick’s Huabu,
the founder of the reputed Camion qui fume, La Maison Bleue and the
Café de la Marine in the 10th arrondissement.
