Emilie Bonaventure wanted to live in-in her words "a very Parisian apartment." She has loved the vibrant 9th arrondissement since she was a child, so finding her home in the Pigalle area was a dream come true.
A French interior architect and designer, expert in art and decoration, curator and aficionado of fashion and gastronomy, Emilie has multiple talents. After studying art history at the renowned Ecole du Louvre, she started her professional path first working for an antique dealer and then for an interior designer before launching her own studio, Be-Attitude, in Paris in 2005.
Emilie's projects (which are mostly in restaurants, harkening back to her parents' careers as restaurant owners) embody her interdisciplinary approach where art, architecture and design interact.
Located on the charming Rue des Martyrs in the Montmartre neighbourhood, Emilie's apartment doubled as her studio for several years, but continues to be her personal refuge. She would work with her team in her dining room, where the concept for Rose Bakery Tea Room inside Paris's Le Bon Marche department storewas born. Today, Emilie has a separate office, a few steps from her airy residence.
