Parisian Affair – Interview With Claudia Strasser – Author of The Paris Apartment Blog , was featured in Luxe Magazine….
FAVORITE DECORATING SOURCES:
When I have restoration projects, I’ll pop into Pariscope Antiques in Lake Worth for
anything from restoring a frame, to gold leafing to upholstery. Up the road a bit, I’ll
hit Revue Antiques in West Palm Beach for boudoir chairs and vanities. There’s always a
wonderful surprise around every corner.
I ALWAYS CARRY…
Chanel Gardenia. I adore it because it’s the purest essence of it that I’ve found; it’s not mixed with any other scent. I can only find it in New York, and it just feels like a special occasion whenever I use it.
DREAM COLLABORATIONS:
I’d love to team with Philippe Starck and Habitat for Humanity. In the future, I plan
to work with a manufacturer in High Point to create bedding and furniture lines for The
Paris Apartment and expand the brand.
INEVITABLE TREND:
I think the 1920s and ’30s are going to make a strong design resurgence. The
days of flappers, The Great Gatsby and Josephine Baker are filled with images of great design in both clothing and decor. Art Deco has a timelessness about it.
