Sybille De Margerie

Mypartner and I primarily do residential interior design, and an occasionalrestaurant. I am in awe of the thought and innovation that goes into designinghotels. I love to wander through great hotel lobbies, to see the detail andarchitecture, especially new hotels where the designer and architect have hadto truly go through great lengths to provide enough texture, detail, lightingand atmosphere for people to want to return stay after stay! So, when I see articles on suchdesigners I always take the time to read them, and one article in particularcaught my eye! The email for 1^st Dibs new listings had its weeklyStyle Compass. This week the spotlight was on Sybille de Margerie.Borninto the Taittinger family – a name synonymous with fine champagne, Sybille deMargerie knew early on that interior design was her passion, despite earlystudies in law. By 24 she had opened her own firm and was soon designing hotelinteriors. She has designed such prestigious names such as Concorde, LeCrillon, as well as restaurants, and casinos, which ‘allow for playful designwith no limit on creativity,” she says.Sybille has also designed the world renownParis Mandarin Oriental hotel! These photographs from around the globe prove herlevel of expertise, love of creativity and artistic ability! I am amazed, andthought it worth sharing
