Extraordinary Collections: French Interiors · Flea Markets · Ateliers

The art of collecting is a central aspect of timeless French style. French artist and designer Marin Montagut, an expert in antiques, takes readers on a tour of a dozen private homes, flea markets, and unconventional ateliers in search of the most whimsical treasures in France. From vintage maps and globes to spiral staircase models and porcelain dessert molds, the curated collections of objects in these spaces radiate charm and create unforgettable interiors. Wooden zigzag rulers arranged in a herringbone pattern on a wall, for example, form an artful space. Montagut's mood boards offer endless inspiration for incorporating objects in the home.
