The walls become works of art
With masterful expertise, architect and designer Caroline Andréoni creates contemporary interiors that revitalize their heritage. Plasterwork, bas-reliefs, painted decorations, and panoramic views take the form of frescoes that adorn the walls with a pictorial aura. The aesthete reveals to us four institutions, each virtuoso in the art of transforming matter into atmospheric tableaux.
Tollis Studio, the renaissance of ornaments
In the world of decorative sculpture and ornament restoration, Tollis Studio is a leading authority. Thanks to its renowned expertise, the team of artisans breathes new life into private mansions and heritage buildings, creating a link between the old and the new. In a Haussmannian apartment, the workshop reconstructs friezes and moldings, creates bas-reliefs using templates, and ensures perfect continuity after patination, even when the wall decor is crafted from scratch. Interior architecture regains its depth when the ornamentation is restored to its proper place.

Awarded the Living Heritage Company (EPV) label, Staff Espaces Volumes has been perpetuating the art of staff since 1988, this subtle blend of plaster and sisal, a natural plant fiber. Behind this timeless material, a team of master craftsmen imagines and shapes cornices, moldings, domes, ceilings, fireplaces, staircases, furniture, and architectural ornaments. Each project, whether it be a private hotel, a restaurant, a museum, or a historical monument, benefits from the same attention to detail and the same demand for perfection. In France and abroad, the creations by Staff Espaces Volumes reveal the beauty of expertise where tradition meets contemporary architecture.

At de Gournay, each hand-painted wall panel tells a story. Stretched silks, panoramic views, and embroidered fabrics are custom-made, inspired by the rich sensory experience of rare materials: silk, lacquer, and gold leaf blend with millimeter precision. Invisible seams, a texture animated by light, and a perfectly integrated headboard: each creation, whether Art Deco or contemporary, enhances the décor it graces.

Wall compositions, sculptural mirrors, or frescoes that seem to float on the surface of the material: Laurence Mallaret's work combines lightness and gentleness. Her technique blends pigments, patinas made with marble powder, and gold or silver leaf applied by hand, sometimes achieving full coverage. Based in Marseille after a career in the Parisian luxury industry, this ceramic artist creates unique pieces crafted in her studio. Influenced by her travels in Asia and the United States, and nourished by spirituality And through meditation, she develops a poetic and colorful universe where each creation evokes a world within itself, carried by Mediterranean light.

Renowned interior architect Caroline Andréoni considers walls a key element, on par with designer furniture. Through a comprehensive analysis of volumes, perspectives, and circulation, she reveals the path of light and constructs a sensitive narrative in each project. Soft nuances in passageways, more intense ones in intimate spaces, ceramic murals, plunging draperies: no wall is secondary when it comes to asserting the soul of a place. Surrounded by artisans skilled in craftsmanship and time-honored techniques, Caroline orchestrates each project: she prescribes, commissions sampling, directs the creative process, and oversees the choreography of expertise.
