Haute Bohemian hideaway: a tribute to Connoisseurship

Inspired by Pierre Bergé and Yves Saint Laurent and their passion for collecting and travel, The Wiseman Group has transformed the dining room of Le Petit Trianon into a 21stcentury haute Bohemian hideaway. A connoisseur’s enclave of treasured objects, the space showcases elements from various periods and styles with a unique collection hand-selected by Paul Vincent Wiseman. Layered in classical, contemporary, and custom furnishings and artwork, the hideaway features an antique Oushak carpet and an Edwin Lutyens octagonal table. The fireplace has been reimagined with custom Moroccan star-patterned tiles by Monique De La Plaza through Da Vinci Marble. A custom geometric Fromental 5-panel velvet screen inspired by artist Gustav Klimt, Fromental silk wall covering lines the vaulted ceiling, a Steinway grand piano, a Ming Dynasty coffee table, and a window seat banquette in Jim Thompson woven fabric create the feeling of a maximalist eclecticism. A Noguchi hanging lamp and an existing crystal chandelier illuminate the dark paneled room, creating the appropriate mood for our Bohemian friends.
