Laura Gonzalez<\/strong><\/em><\/a>\u00a0is someone that we see a bit of everywhere lately, realizing projects after projects and flirting with the design magazines. She is fully multi-tasking, being able to create hotels, restaurants, shops and private interiors. Laura Gonzalez\u00a0started her career with nightclubs and, today, she\u2019s the creator of half a dozen Cartier shops, the Pierre Herm\u00e9 bakery or even the Occitane concept store, and now she\u2019s celebrated as\u00a0Maison et Objet<\/strong>\u2018s Designer Of The Year September 2019.<\/p>\n

The architect, who trained at the Paris-Malaquais School of Architecture, has been applying that mindset with real panache to every single space she has designed since first launching her firm back in 2008. Some of those spaces have been sleeping beauties whose charm she has skilfully reawakened \u2013 the Alcazar, Hotel Christine, the Brasserie La Lorraine -, whilst others she has designed from scratch, giving free reign to her creative flair, as was the case with the 86 Champs, the Manko, the Noto, the Louboutin stores in Barcelona and Amsterdam or those owned by Cartier in Stockholm, Zurich and London. The architect has imbued all these projects with her own unique style, updating classical references with a generous helping of her rampant yet well-tamed imagination.<\/p>\n

At La Gare, a huge brasserie-style restaurant in the 16th arrondissement of Paris, she has incorporated numerous references to travel by looking to the shores of the Mediterranean for inspiration. At the Cartier store on Paris\u2019s rue de la Paix, meanwhile, the space she\u2019s designed resembles an apartment worthy of\u00a0Coco Chanel<\/strong><\/em>. And at one of Paris\u2019s most iconic restaurants, Lap\u00e9rouse, she\u2019s restored all the woodwork, artwork and period frescoes whilst simultaneously adding her own quirky, romantic touch.<\/p>\n

No-one else combines fabrics, motifs, materials, colours and eras quite like this bold young architect, resulting in a\u00a0thoroughly unique signature style.\u00a0Her love for mixing-and-matching became clear the second she unveiled her first project as a freshly qualified architect, aged just 26. The project in question was the Bus Palladium, a shining star of the Parisian night scene, which she chose to refurbish with a potpourri\u00a0of no fewer than thirty-five wallpapers, furnishing the place with vintage finds and simultaneously dragging the brass fixtures and fittings kicking and screaming into the twenty-first century. What was to become her signature style has since been further enriched over the years, fuelled by numerous collaborations with some of France\u2019s very best craftsmen, including marble masons, cabinetmakers, glass-makers, glass blowers, mosaic specialists and lacquerers.<\/p>\n

Laura Gonzalez is currently busy working on a brand new project that sits just perfectly with her Latin sense of exuberance, inherited from her Spanish mother: renovating a mansion in the Vexin to create what she calls a \u201cliving showroom\u201d. It\u2019s a place where she intends to welcome clients, craftsmen, chefs, journalists, in a space where she will display vintage finds \u2013 hunting for vintage pieces is one of her passions \u2013 alongside her brand new furniture range, featuring sofas, lights and tables. \u201cMy furniture is very \u201cme\u201d \u2013 everything is bespoke, you can choose the colour of a chair, combine an endless number of fabrics on a fireside chair\u2026\u201d.The pieces in the collection will sit alongside one-off creations designed hand-in-hand with craftsmen, such as an onyx backgammon table and an obsidian lamp. The showroom is due to open in November, so watch this space!<\/p>\n
