The mythical and mysterious Parisian salons of the House of Haute-Couture Chanel<\/a>, at 31, rue Cambon, have fascinated many. They continue to animate the myth of Gabrielle Chanel, as it is a place full of stories and secrets. The history of the House of Chanel began just a few steps from the Place Vend\u00f4me and has continued ever since, this time with a makeover of its salons by Jacques Grange.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The prestigious Chanel salons, now part of the collective unconscious, still fascinate many. From the large mirrors to the Art Deco staircase, classified as a historical monument, and the famous passageway leading directly to Gabrielle Chanel’s flat, the entirety of its rooms makes it an emblematic place in Paris.<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

This treasure of French heritage<\/strong> is, however, about to be given a makeover. Like the Eiffel Tower, which is currently being given a makeover in a colour reminiscent of its youth, the Chanel salons<\/strong> have also been given a makeover. For this, they called on the architect and decorator Jacques Grange.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Inspiration from the past<\/h2>\n

 <\/p>\n

He was inspired by period photographs entrusted to him by Chanel<\/strong> for this project: “These photographs provided me with a reference, I like this kind of approach which allows me to enter into a history that I know well. For Chanel, I tried to evoke the salons as they had been in Coco Chanel’s time, but with an artistic spirit,” said the decorator.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The choice to entrust this project to Jacques Grange is not surprising. He is a long-time friend of the Chanel house, a close friend of Virginie Viard<\/strong> (the brand’s artistic director) and also of Karl Lagerfeld<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Since 1918, it is in this salon at 31, rue Cambon where the elegant women went to try on and adapt the creations of the fashion shows<\/strong> to their measurements.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

A century later, they can once again enjoy a salon where prestige and elegance are in the spotlight: “I wanted to give a glamorous aspect, an even more couture spirit to these salons, which I wanted to make a very precious showcase,” says Jacques Grange.<\/p>\n

Art and Paris highlighted in the Chanel salons<\/h2>\n

 <\/p>\n

These revisited salons, mixing artists and Parisian designs, come together to give a second life to the House of Chanel. From Giuseppe Ducrot<\/strong>‘s white glazed ceramic consoles to Marina Karella<\/strong>‘s resin and glass pedestal tables and Patrick Dangel<\/strong>‘s plaster and bronze hanging lamps, the salons at 31 rue Cambon now look like an art gallery<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

But the lounges are not the only ones to have been redecorated. Jacques Grange and his teams also restored Gabrielle Chanel’s private flat<\/strong>, located just above the legendary boutique. As it was the case with the shop’s famous staircase, Mademoiselle Coco’s flat has also been classified as a historical monument.<\/p>\n
