Bringing the space to life

This offhandedly elegant Parisian creates cultivated yet userfriendly spaces—interiors with a soul. Style. An avid collector of pieces by Ettore Sottsass, Andrea Branzi and Alessandro Mendini, Charles Zana enjoys integrating the Italian masters’ works into his décors, mixing them with his own furniture creations and specially commissioned artworks. Private spaces. An average of

10 to 12 projects a year, recently including a house in the Paris region, a chalet in Gstaad and a home in Sardinia. Retail spaces. Shops for Goyard in New York and Dallas, and for Cartier in Kuwait. Hotels. The Hôtel Saint-Honoré, to be completed this spring, plus two others in the works.
