Check out your lodge wishlist: Chances are high, Dorothée Meilichzon has designed not less than one among spots you’ve been wanderlusting after. The Paris-based inside designer, who based her studio Chzon in 2009, has labored on over 100 hospitality areas world wide, from an Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland-inspired manor within the Cotswolds (peep our tour right here) to a comfortable chalet within the French Alps. Every of Dorothée’s tasks has its personal distinct aesthetic that’s drawn from the historical past of the constructing and the persona of the vacation spot—however coloration and sample are at all times in play.
Dorothée’s artistic contact is obvious in each aspect of her accommodations, bars, and eating places. “The furnishings, frescos, and lamps are made by my valuable artisans, like my cabinetmaker, my upholsterer, my painter, and my mosaicist,” she says. “I lead the decision-making for the dinnerware, the employees clothes, and the graphic design of logos and menus, too.” She’s presently working her detail-oriented magic on properties within the south of France, Portugal, and Spain—and a dreamy place to remain in Corsica will debut this spring.
At present, Dorothée writes in from Paris together with her go-to hostess present, the cardigans she will’t cease carrying, and the armchair collaboration that could be her subsequent funding…
