“I like to multiply the details, to make sure that wherever the eye falls, something is happening. I need places to have a soul.” Laura Gonzalez Parisian architect and interior designer Laura Gonzalez never stops taking on projects: she’s created designs for the iconic Lapérouse restaurant, the Relais Christine hotel, the 86Champs concept store, Noto restaurant in the Salle Pleyel, and the Cartier boutiques in Paris, Stockholm and Zurich. This year she was named Maison & Objet Designer of the Year, September 2019. Trained at École Nationale Supérieure d’Architecture (ENSA) Paris-Malaquais, one of France’s national architecture universities, she founded her agency, Pravda Arkitect, in 2008. It was her 2010 renovation of renowned Parisian rock club Bus Palladium that put her on the map, and since then she’s continued to imprint her inimitable style on a long series of illustrious locales. The talented young architect likes to play with surprising mixes of fabrics, patterns, materials and colours to create rich, sophisticated and timeless worlds that honour art and craft and twist the codes of classicism.
