What for? The 3 layers of your skin

I don't think I'm wrong in saying that everyone has an opinion on decoration, architecture. Some people say they don't care, others define themselves as having a Scandinavian, pure, vintage, 50s, modern style... Magazines and TV shows are not lacking in advice, more or less applicable in our "real" square meters. When we rent, especially abroad, the lighting does not necessarily correspond to the function or activity we plan to do in a room. You know what I'm getting at, don't you?

​

Yes, decoration is not necessarily easy when you are an expatriate, when you travel with your belongings or when you arrive with "three times nothing". How to feel at home when you are far from your roots, your habits?

Human skin is composed of three layers. If I use a metaphor, I would say that three layers also separate us from the outside world:

​

Our skin: the way we take care of it says a lot about us. I'm not just talking about creams or cosmetic surgery, but accepting our wrinkles, eating healthy, exercising, loving ourselves as we are...

 

Our clothes: they are our second skin. The style, the materials, the cuts, the observation or not of the influences of fashion, also define us. We feel more comfortable, more confident when we feel good in our clothes. It would be too long to talk about dress codes as social references, but take a look at bankers for example: Have you ever had an appointment with a banker wearing a Hawaiian shirt? Don't worry, I have nothing against bankers or Hawaiian shirts!

​

Our house: Some people think: "We are only passing through, so decorate... That's not really the priority! Except that decoration, in my opinion, is not just the icing on the cake when you move somewhere. It is essential to think about feeling at home when the outside is still foreign. Our apartment must be a cocoon, an anchor point, a place to recharge your batteries with your family. Let's not even talk about pollution peaks in some countries, or bad weather, when staying home is an obligation. For all these reasons, let's take care of our interior.

 

I'm sure you've had that nice feeling of walking into a room and saying, "I feel good here." The reverse is also true, which is less pleasant... The same can be said for clothes and our own bodies. From my experience as an interior designer and retail manager in the fashion world, I am convinced that if we manage to synchronize our 3 layers of skin, we will feel better.

 

A few rules make a real difference, I have defined 12 main ones, applicable on our three layers of skin.

 

What? Interior consultant-stylist, home designer. Do you want to reorganize your personal lifestyle?

I invite you to discover together 12 golden rules by inviting me to design your interior or scenography projects. Or you can join me in a 3-hour workshop, where we'll talk about theory, but because I believe memory is rooted in the repetition of gestures, we'll also put these cardinal rules into practice together in situ.

 

Interior design, stage projects and/or interior design workshop? The choice is yours!

 

Where? Tokyo, Seoul and Paris

I am naturally a curious person, with Diana Vreeland's motto always in mind: "You are not supposed to give people what they want. You're supposed to give them what they don't know they want yet. "
I really believe that "what if" and "thinking outside the box" are essential.
My expertise as Sales Director, Communication and Interior Design Manager for 15 years and now as an Entrepreneur has humbly made me realize that it is our duty to inspire and help people find the best solutions for everyday life.
My multicultural profile helps me understand European and Asian countries. I try to be a bridge between the two continents by respecting the differences that make the wealth of all.
 

I started my professional life as a team manager for the Danone group, Kerring and Fnac. During my career, I have had the opportunity to work with architects to build stores. I realize that my life has always been influenced by my interest in architecture and interior design. At the age of 38, I decided to study interior design at Ecole Boulle - Paris. Right after graduating, I was hired by IKEA France as a communication and interior design manager. It was a very exciting job, combining team management and interior design. I have travelled across Europe and visited people's homes to understand how they live, what they like or dislike about themselves, and what are the key issues to be solved. We made home visits before opening each IKEA store in order to provide solutions to all domestic problems. I think that's the main reason people think, "IKEA offers good solutions for me." In 2013, I went one step further by creating my own company, in order to combine object design, interior design consulting and scenography. The idea is to help people understand why their home environment is important and contributes to their well-being. This is how Little Tribe House was born...
