A WAY OF LIFE ABOVE ALL

At Pierre's, it's more than just an interior; it's a way of living. The rooms generously welcome light, and every perspective offers a lively spectacle: a wooden table with a pronounced grain, an 18th-century chest of drawers softened by fresh bouquets, a bench draped in a striped fabric that invites conversation. The eye wanders, guided by a warm palette—olive, saffron, indigo—that Pierre harmonizes with perfect balance. Nothing ostentatious; the entire interior composition is oriented through the waltz of time and comfort: natural materials, breathable fibers, finishes that time only enhances. In this interior, the artisan's hand is everywhere. The graphic and plush rugs set the tone. The slightly irregular ceramics bring immediate joy to the table. The hand-blown glassware invites guests to gather. This dedication to craftsmanship sets the rhythm of the house: layering, mixing, and playfulness are all part of the fun, without taking things too seriously. A subtle yet sure logic prevails – that of an eye that knows how to orchestrate contrasts to create rhythmic balance. "Casa Lopez is often a blend of rich and humble materials," he explains, stroking a rug where embroidered wool is combined with raw jute.

A PASSION THAT BECAME A PROFESSION

In the living room of his Norman château, Pierre Sauvage passionately recounts the story of his career change. After more than twenty years in communications, this lover of beautiful things took the plunge by acquiring Casa Lopez, a brand he had long admired. “It was the idea of fairly easy decorating, where you could change the seasonality of your home simply by changing a rug. Both accessible and quite stylish.” An organic approach that reflects his philosophy: create first for yourself, before sharing with others. Everything at Casa Lopez is something I have at home or could have at home.

A SETTING CELEBRATING THE ART OF ENTERTAINING

An hour from Paris, Pierre Sauvage spent four years restoring a château that embodies his vision of the art of living. “My main criterion was to have a house at the heart of the estate to feel the distance from the city.” This neglected property, enveloped in nature, captivated him with its potential. “During my first visit, I spent almost two hours outside. There were deer, foxes… We felt like we were far removed from the world. In his Norman home, adorned with thirteen different fabrics, he created a universe where each room tells a story. "I wanted a lot of textiles. They're incredibly comfortable: enveloping, and also provide sound insulation." Cotton velvet, printed percale, linen canvas: natural materials cover the walls in a warm, harmonious palette. The house is conceived as a series of convivial scenes: a table set simply, mismatched plates, crumpled linen tablecloths. The living rooms encourage movement, and the colors take on sun-kissed hues at sunset. His dinners always begin with an inspiration. "If it's in January, I'll imagine an arrangement with mimosas and contrasting details." A lover of simple dishes—pot-au-feu, couscous—he grasps the nobility of conviviality.

A MEDITERRANEAN IMAGINATION

This aesthetic draws on a distinctly Mediterranean aesthetic. "It's the idea of a colorful, Latin way of life. A bit like a permanent vacation home, something quite joyful too." Among his horses, pigs, and poultry, in this castle that has yet to reveal all its secrets, he cultivates a generous lifestyle where authenticity makes a real impact. "Inspiration is often closely linked to childhood. Memories we have, objects we knew." These are more like old things that we keep in our inner treasure box and that ultimately make up our culture.” A philosophy that makes each creation a piece of personal history shared with the world. A vision embodied even in his book *Table Plans*, published in 2024 by Flammarion, a true manifesto of the art of entertaining.
