A
ny plated dish prepared by Parisian chef
Mathieu Pacaud is sure to grab the eye, like
an evocative work of art. So it is no surprise
that the design of Hexagone, his newly
opened restaurant in the 16th arrondissement near the
Eiffel Tower, reflects the same spirited and surprising
sensory experiences that Pacaud elicits with his cuisine.
After training with his father, legendary chef
Bernard Pacaud, and serving as chef of famed Michelin
three-star restaurant L'Ambroisie, the younger Pacaud
set off on his own earlier this year to take French
culinary heritage to a fresh new level with a menu of
experimental dishes, a sharp selection of wines and
champagnes, and a considered mix of innovative
cocktails in his own restaurant.
To create an ambiance that would complement
the epicurean experience he envisioned, he entrusted
the interior design to Patrick Gilles and Dorothée
Boissier of the Parisian firm Gilles & Boissier, who
crafted a setting that blends elegance with humor-
not unlike one of Pacaud's refreshing desserts.
"Mathieu wanted the atmosphere of the restaurant
to represent the desire to escape-a daring wonderland
where each function corresponds to a different
universe," says Boissier. As in the Buddakan restaurant,
which the designers created in 2005 in New York, Gilles
& Boissier developed a thoughtful sequencing of
spaces in Hexagone, each uniquely set up as in a film
to express a variety of strong themes.
"Patrick instantly had an image of how we should
design this space, drawing on inspiration from mystery,
movement, and graphic art," says Boissier. "We used
several films as references for the design-Stanley
Kubrick's 'The Shining,' Hitchcock's seductive 'Vertigo,'
and [the television series] 'Twin Peaks'-as well as the
kinetic art by Marcel Duchamp."
A sensory experience in black, white, and yellow
Ultimately, the completely renovated 3,300-square-foot
interior unfolds like a dream, with distinct, fluid spaces
marked by rigorous geometry and a monochromatic
palette of black and white with select highlights in gold
Lounge areas (right and
opposite, bottom) feature
rich materials predominately
in white-plus pops of
yellow-and cozy alcove
seating. The bar (opposite,
top) is lined with black walls
with bands of bookshelves
offset by a bold chevron
patterned floor and smoky
gold effect on the ceiling.

Key Design Highlights
The restaurant's design draws
influence from films to create
a feeling of cinematic escape.
Different culinary concepts
are presented within three
distinct zones: a bar, a
gastronomic restaurant, and
the main restaurant area.
A palette of black and white is
accented by shades of gold,
bright yellow, and red.
Materials including smoked oak,
black granite, and white marble
lend elegance to the spaces.
French artists created a tattoolike effect on the walls using
black markers.
