A legendary designer apartment goes under the hammer

A collaboration with Sotheby’s turned the auction of this prestigious apartment into a spectacular event that interested parties around the world were able to witness live – you too, I have both parts of the auction for you below. The auction offered a rare glimpse into the world of high-end real estate auctions, a combination of excitement, elegance and financial potency.

The starting bid: 5.3 million euros for exclusive living space

The 260 square meter apartment, located in one of the most sought-after locations in Paris, started with a bid of 5.3 million euros. The impressive property, which sits enthroned with the Seine at its feet, not only embodies a piece of fashion history, but also the high value associated with such an address.

Small note, with my modeling agency I was allowed to work with the team in Paris in Karl’s last year. RIP! Now back to the auction.

Sales proceeds that exceeded all expectations

At the end of the exciting bidding war, the proceeds from the sale amounted to ten million euros – an amount that far exceeded initial expectations. This sale is a clear sign of the power of the Lagerfeld name and its influence on the value of a property.

Starting bid: 5.3 million dollars

Closing bid: 10 million dollars

Sold for $10 million: The apartment

Upgrade your house or apartment with lamps & light

But what is so crucial about lamps and the light that you should pay closer attention to it? The lamp is one of the first things that catches your eye when you enter a room. Clearly, the choice should be matched to the style of the interior. If the furnishings harmonize with the lamp, it can make quite a difference. Suddenly it is a completely different feel-good feeling when you enter a room.

Effect of light

In particular, the change in light tone can be decisive for the feeling of well-being. Technically, a distinction is made between warm white, neutral white and daylight white. While warm white is perceived as cosy, neutral white conveys a businesslike atmosphere and daylight white matches incident light. Warm white light is therefore particularly suitable for the bedroom or living room, where most people prefer a cosy atmosphere. The neutral white light, on the other hand, is more suitable for the kitchen or the bathroom, because that’s where the main thing is to go through your daily routine in a businesslike way. And the daylight white could be ideal for the living room or even the children’s room. Now, if you notice that your bathroom has warm white lights, that could be the reason why you just never really wake up in the morning. The smallest changes in your home can make a big difference.

Find the right design

Once the right light for a room has been found, the next step is to choose the right lamp design. Just like with furnishings in general, there are different styles. From country style to vintage style, you can choose what appeals to you the most. With such a wide selection, you can be sure that there will be something for everyone. While the playful aviator lamp is perfect for a child’s room, the classy glass lamp is ideal for the living room. Make sure your lamp matches the rest of your decor. If the furniture and the decoration are kept rather simple, then you could consider to set a highlight with the lamp. In this case, an impressive chandelier could be the right choice.

Lamps & Light – Ideas to make yourself

No matter which lamp shop you visit, you just can’t find the right lamp for your living room? Are you artistically talented and have a lot of patience and skill? Then you should consider whether it might make sense for you to make your dream lamp yourself. If this idea doesn’t sound completely absurd to you, you have enough time and all you’re missing is the right idea, we might be able to help you out. Here we have three lamp ideas for you to build yourself. Your first thought was: That can’t look good at all. Then convince yourself of the opposite.

Designer Wall Lamp

This lamp not only looks very unusual, but it causes a cozy atmosphere for the living room. If you have enough time to recreate this lamp, you will notice that it can change a lot. Due to its size, it looks especially good above a sofa. Especially if you don’t like to decorate your walls with pictures, such a wall lamp could be an ideal alternative.

Concrete lamp to make yourself

This lamp represents exactly what many people would like to have above the dining table. If one had to describe the lamps briefly, one would say: Simple elegance. This concrete lamp fits especially well when other pieces of furniture are held in the marble – style, because the outer surfaces are also held in the color gray. Also, if you are looking for a suitable lamp for the nursery of your daughter or son, this lamp could be suitable. Since children’s rooms are usually already quite colorful from the wall color and pictures, a simple lamp can create an ideal balance. Unlike the other two ideas, this lamp idea is relatively quick to make, so you don’t have to sacrifice too much time.

Box lamp build yourself

Even this beautiful box lamp you can easily do yourself. Step by step, this video will explain how to get this decorative item. The beauty of it, this lamp can not only cause a cozy mood in the winter, but it can also add a certain magic to any summer evening. Especially for the living room, this lamp is great. If you are invited to the birthday of a family member or a close friend, you could also give such a lamp as a gift.

Jazz & Soul – Jazz originated around 1900 in the southern states of the USA. Jazz music has evolved in many different ways. New Orleans, Disieland, Cool, Bebop or Chicago Jazz. And Soul? Also strongly influenced by African-Americans, soul music developed in the 1950s from R’n’B (rhythm & blues) and gospel. Soul as a style always stood for the fight against racial segregation and for equal rights.

We combine melodic jazz elements with soul vibes. The opening will be at the beginning of summer and info can be found here!
