Loft o f
Paris is the fourth in a series of seven books that Tectum is publishing
on the lofts of seven European cities. After Antwerp, Amsterdam and London
and while waiting for Berlin, Barcelona and Stockholm, Tectum has opened
the doors of some fifty marvellous loftsin Paris and its outskirts.
These lofts were selected to present the challenges of organising and decorating
an abandoned industrial site or workshop. Many workshops, garages, warehouses,
small factories, printing works and large sheds around Paris have been given
a new lease of life. For the most part they are found in the city's working-class
neighbourhoods such as Bastille, Belleville, Ménilmontant, the North
and the Eastern stations, Les Halles, Les Lilas, and on outskirts of the
city. As a result, they have given rise to a mixture of socio-economic classes
as well as preserving an endangered industrial heritage and offering the
possibility of exploring a new approach to interior design.
Choosing to live or work in a loft, or both, is a complete break with tradition.
It means perceiving open space in its totality so as to be able to fashion
to it individual specifications, in line with one's tastes and needs. This
creative approach offers splendid surprises and imaginative gems ranging
from the high-tech to the classical, from minimalism to the Baroque, from
intimate to exotic.
The photographs speak from themselves. That is why the text has deliberately
been kept to a minimum.
Welcome to the world of Lofts of Paris! |
