contrasting notes of refinement and history, while
a black-and-white checkerboard floor of Carrera
and Marquina marble injects a shot of Dorothy
Draperesque grandeur.
A common thread throughout Cartier's
residential work is an emphasis on contemporary
furnishings. For La Forêt Noire, she and Louvier
mixed glamorous velvet-upholstered banquettes,
a serpentine sofa, and midcentury-inspired
armchairs with newly iconic Bodystuhl chairs-
English designer Nigel Coates's updated variations
of Thonet's classic cane and bentwood seating.
Suggestive of a black forest
Set against a rich palette of materials, colors,
and patterns that reference woodsy vegetation,
the clean modern lines of the furnishings are
tempered with deep tones of olive, teal, forest
green, russet red, and burnt sienna. In contrast,
brass details, a mirror by Ronan and Erwan
Bouroullec, plus a lively brass starburst chandelier
and other fixtures by new French lighting company
Magic Circus Éditions add touches of sparkle.

"All of the decorative ideas-the colors
of the velvet for the chairs, the palm-leaf carpet
designed by Dimore Studio, and the black-painted
ceiling," Louvier says, suggest a dark forest. And
the designers' attention to detail-including the
entrance door's exquisite brass and marble handle,
designed by India Mahdavi for Maison Vervloet-
was applied with the same care they bring to their
residential spaces.
"Habitually, we work with private clients,
and we focus on the details," says Cartier, noting
that they approached their first restaurant as they
would a home for a private client. "We know that
[the Darnaults] like this," she adds. No doubt, the
clients, who made a point of including Black Forest
cake on the dessert menu, appreciate it, too.
"Whoever comes into the forest is enchanted,"
says Isabelle Darnault, alluding to the restaurant's
ambiance. "We will let you discover why." c
Key Design Highlights
To create the sophisticated-yetresidential feel requested by
the clients, the designers chose
plush furnishings and finishes.
Dining areas, located on either
side of a central brass bar,
feature diverse seating-from
velvet banquettes to updated
takes on classic cane and
bentwood chairs-and a mix
of tabletops.
Custom carpets and wallpaper
featuring forest-inspired patterns
lend texture.
The color palette includes
natural and subtle tones, such
as olive, teal, forest green, russet
red, and burnt sienna.
Brass light fixtures and details,
as well as full-length mirrors,
add sparkle and dimension
to the interiors.
