The latest selection of the best six Paris-based talents in decor.

1. Frauke Meyer from LIAIGRE
German interior architect, Frauke Meyer studied in Paris before joining the Christian Liaigre team in 1998. At At the head of the design studio, she embarks on a new chapter in Liaigre’s history leading exceptional projects in Europe, USA and Asia. Faithful to the pure spirit which is characteristic to Liaigre, Frauke Meyer leads a vision of a new generation of architects. Sobriety, serenity, soft lines and subtle adequacy to the context, her interiors reflect both a rigorous design and special consideration for functions.
Address: 46 Rue de Lille, 75007 - Paris

2. Sybille de Margerie
Sybille de Margerie’s signature, feminine and poetic, reaches out into the most sophisticated spheres. Functional and contemporary, the attention to detail and the striving for perfection is such that it draws together all five senses into a multitude of impressions, sometimes irrational and immaterial. Of course, that’s the sign of genuine luxury. Being sensitive, emphatic and having respect for others permits Sybille to anticipate the desires and understand the personalities involved. Confidence and loyalty in an exchange are indispensable for the success of a project.

3. Thomas Dariel
As great grandson of a French furniture designer, grandson of a jazz musician and son of an architect, Thomas Dariel has always drawn his strength and inspiration from his family heritage. French Designer by training and tireless traveler, he came to China in 2006 to launch his own interior design studio (Dariel Studio) at the age of 24. Dariel draws his creativity from the different worlds of design, fashion, gastronomy, visual arts and luxury. His design philosophy is driven by his passion for breaking traditional codes and clichés which creates a new language for each design. By confronting heritage and cutting-edge innovations, combining French design heritage with Eastern cultural influence, Thomas Dariel’s open approach unfolds original perspectives.
Address: 34 Rue Saint Dominique, 75007 - Paris

4. NEVA
NEVA is an Interior Design Agency created by Margaux Carnevali, in response to a world where spaces get smaller and smaller: with so many people per m², it has become hard to appropriate yourself a space that's "you". Each project, each person behind it, comes with a story and a different background, with their own needs, tastes, received ideas, that one has to understand and work around to help them get closer to their wishes and desires. Margaux likes to accept challenges, creating like no one else, while respecting some unavoidable constraints, whatever the space and surface is, by making the basic unique, and the other way around. The Agency will help you throughout any of your interior design and decoration projects, as a professional or individual, in Paris or elsewhere.
Address: 7 Rue Daniel Stern, 75015 – Paris

5. Denis Montel from RDAI
A graduate of the École d’Architecture Paris-La Défense, his first professional experiences were transdisciplinary. For ten years he collaborated with agencies specializing in architecture, interior architecture, landscape, scenography and strategic design. In 1999 he joined Rena Dumas, directing major projects for RDAI. In 2007 he co-founded RDAI Architecture with Rena Dumas and Nicolas Karmochkine. After Rena’s death in 2009 he became managing director and artistic director of the two agencies, RDAI and RDAI Architecture. Denis has taught at the École Nationale Supérieure des Arts Décoratifs and various architecture schools, and regularly takes part in international conferences.
Address: 13 Rue du Mail, 75002 - Paris

6. Patrick Norguet
French designer approaches objects from a graphical perspective. As a child, he always preferred sketchbooks to textbooks. A stint in industry and design studies mark the unusual profile of this constructive rebel. He sees design as an encounter with a manufacturer whose creative intent is shaped by technical and economic constraints and the expectations of a user it hopes to seduce discreetly, yet lastingly. Always drawing inspiration from his surroundings, Patrick aims to create products whose relevance and modernity will withstand the test of time. Today, he is a leading player on the international stage.
Address: 36 Boulevard de la Bastille, 75012 - Paris

Building on What's Already There As this year's LIV Hospitality Design Awards winners settle into the wider conversation, certain patterns become difficult to ignore. Properties built for warm-climate escape recur across the list. Sustainability surfaces less as a stated goal than as a working method. And several of the strongest projects are renovations rather than new builds. Read together, the winners point toward where hospitality design is heading as the year continues. Designed for the Season Several of this year's winners speak directly to the season ahead. Kona Village , on Hawaii's Big Island, reimagines an 81-acre resort around the history of Kaupulehu, led by Greg Warner and Mike McCabe of Walker Warner. The rebuilt property includes 150 traditional guest hale, a new spa, and five restaurants and bars—two of which carry over from the original resort. Rather than a wholesale reinvention, the project reads as a continuation: a property rebuilt around what made the original site significant in the first place.
