The first boutique hotel on the Rive Gauche, Paris, Hotel Montalembert represents an important chapter in the history of interior architecture between 1980 and 1990. Although public spaces were not the most important part of his work (or perhaps because of that), Liaigre left an important mark on hotels.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_146676\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-146676\" style=\"width: 1024px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-146675 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.designdiffusion.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/hotel_montalembert.jpg\" alt=\"christian-liaigre.jpg\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1024\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-146676\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Hotel Montalembert, Paris<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>What was so special about the interiors of Hotel Montalembert, then? <strong>They simply redefined a new idea of simplicity in design<\/strong>. After all, we were fresh out the Eighties, so exuberant and colorful in fashion, and even in interior architecture in some way. Well, perhaps not so colorful \u2013 Memphis aside \u2013 but not with that idea of sophisticated sobriety conveyed by Christian Liaigre\u2019s projects.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_146668\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-146668\" style=\"width: 896px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-146667 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.designdiffusion.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/casa_knokke.jpg\" alt=\"christian-liaigre-interior-design.jpg\" width=\"896\" height=\"896\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-146668\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Apartment in Knokke-Heist (Belgium), interior design by Christian Liaigre<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Already in the project for Hotel Montalembert he showed his ability to combine different sources of inspiration and transform them into an immediately recognizable style. At the end of the Eighties, neither boutique hotels nor hotels with \u201chome-like\u201d interior design were so popular. Moreover, the overall impression consisted in extremely simple shapes that let materials define the surfaces. (Today Hotel Montalembert is no longer as it was in the 1990 project, as it has already undergone other interventions and some by Liaigre himself).<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_146662\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-146662\" style=\"width: 896px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-146661 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.designdiffusion.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/casa_caraibi.jpg\" alt=\"christian-liaigre-interior-design.jpg\" width=\"896\" height=\"896\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-146662\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Villa in the Caribbean, interior design by Christian Liaigre<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Christian Liaigre drew his inspiration from the tradition of French craftsmen, cabinetmakers and smiths of precious metals. Quite distant from the conceptual minimalism of other architects of the 1990s, the spaces designed by Liaigre were neither empty nor white. On the contrary, his in-depth search on materials allowed him to create a different environment every time, in line with the different philosophy it had to reflect.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_146670\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-146670\" style=\"width: 896px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-146669 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.designdiffusion.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/casa_nantucket.jpg\" alt=\"christian-liaigre.jpg\" width=\"896\" height=\"896\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-146670\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">House in Nantucket (Massachusetts)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h3><strong>The Mercer Hotel: home away from home<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>This was also the case for The Mercer Hotel in New York, the hotel that made Andr\u00e9 Balazs famous (who relaunched the Chateau Marmont in Los Angeles and launched The Standard Hotel in several cities) and was a turning point for the hospitality sector worldwide. And the hotel that, also thanks to Christian Liaigre&#8217;s design, became an international icon. We have to keep in mind that The Mercer opened in the second half of the nineties. Until then, there was no \u201chotel cult\u201d like today. And there was not this expensive and exclusive model of hotel with small rooms in a cast-iron building in SoHo. Liaigre added to this picture sober furniture and finishes in natural colors and materials, neutral plasters, and woods of different colors depending on the space.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_146678\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-146678\" style=\"width: 1440px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-146677 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.designdiffusion.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/mercer_hotel_1.jpg\" alt=\"christian-liaigre-mercer-hotel.jpg\" width=\"1440\" height=\"900\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-146678\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">A room of The Mercer Hotel, New York, designed by Christian Liaigre in 1998<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>More recently, Liaigre decorated other hotels in New York: the Edition Hotel and the Public Hotel, owned by Ian Schrager (also owner of Royalton, Paramount, Gramercy Park).<\/p>\n<p><strong>Discover the Public Hotel and other hotels in New York <a href=\"\/?p=119100\">here<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_146674\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-146674\" style=\"width: 1280px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-146673 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.designdiffusion.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/hotel_edition_stanza_2.jpg\" alt=\"christian-liaigre-interior-design.jpg\" width=\"1280\" height=\"954\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-146674\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">The Edition Hotel, New York, furnished by Christian Liaigre<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><strong>In the meanwhile,<\/strong> <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.liaigre.com\">Christian Liaigre<\/a><\/strong><strong> designed countless private homes<\/strong>.

In this way, essentiality became a new version of luxury, which gradually became a new standard for interior architecture in the years to come. It would have been nice to see Liaigre at work in 10 years, to see how his work would evolve. Unfortunately, it will not be possible.
