Designers Guide To Paris.

F

or lovers of decorative arts, no city holds more magnetic allure than Paris. As the cradle of diverse artistic movements—from Gothic to Neoclassicism, Art Deco to French modernism—the city’s creative minds have profoundly influenced the design and architecture we experience today.

So perhaps it’s no surprise that Fawn Galli, whose projects are renowned for their eclectic elegance, finds herself irresistibly drawn to the City of Lights. “For a time during college I studied in Paris, spending every spare hour immersing myself in museums, fashion, and nightlife...though constantly on the move, I felt at home there among the artists, expatriates, and eccentrics,” she states.

From the opulent halls of museums to the cozy corners of chic bistros, her experiences are a testament to the city’s endless allure. Whether you're looking for the newest gallery opening or an intimate dining experience, Galli’s curated guide offers a fresh perspective on Paris, echoing her philosophy of living in the moment and embracing the unfamiliar.

The Atelier Brancusi is “a work of art in its own right.” A stunning facsimile of Brancusi’s studio, the exhibition is a glimpse of the artist who “crosses all the movements of the 20th century. ... one of the fathers of abstract art, without being abstract at all.” Place Georges Pompidou, 75004 Paris, France

Fawn likes to skirt the Mona Lisa crowds to visit the many other treasures nestled in this opulent former royal palace; the Egyptian Antiquities collection is a particular favorite. Rue de Rivoli, 75001 Paris, France
