House tour: a modern French apartment within an opulent 19th-century shell

The owners of this apartment in Lyon, France, have created a space that is the complete opposite of their previous dark, enclosed home. Words by Ian Phillips. Photographed by Felix Forest.

Two ceramic sculptures found at an Athens flea market are juxtaposed on the sitting room mantelpiece with a bird sculpture by Ghyslain Bertholon. The Flos ‘Luminator’ floor lamp is one of Achille and Pier Giacomo Castiglioni’s classic designs.
