Hôtel Exquis*** (Paris, 11) French interior designer Julie Gauthron

NEWSLETTER DECEMBER 2015
Hôtel Exquis*** (Paris, 11)
French interior designer Julie Gauthron collaborates
with street artists to give Elegancia’s new Paris hotel,
the ‘Exquis’, a vibrant and surrealist edge.
Taking inspiration from the Surrealist movement,
Elegancia renew their on-going collaboration with
Julie Gauthron for the ‘Hôtel Exquis’. Offering a
quirky and colourful hideaway in Paris’ trendy 11th
arrondissement, the 42 rooms have 8 surrealistic
decorative themes. On each floor an artist or a duo of
artists have created for each room an art installation in
the style of a ‘cadavres exquis’ collage.
Contributing artists:
Monsieur Lui; Thom Thom; Jean Faucheur & Surfil;
Fred Chevalier & Severine Metraz; Macay.
The lift shaft, visible from each floor, has been
tagged by Spanish street artist, Chanoir.

Vintage: In each room, small halfmoon vintage tables have been
customised as bathroom furniture.
Antique sewing machine tables and
vintage television stands have been
transformed in to desks or bathroom
sink stands. In the breakfast room
and reception area, there is a
selection of vintage pieces from the
50s and 60s, sourced from the Saint
Ouan antiques market, in the north
of Paris.
The Hôtel Exquis, with Julie Gauthron’s original and imaginative signature style, brings a
colourful, whimsical and artistic air to the heart of the 11th arrondissement.
