At Elodie and Joan’s

A welcoming wood-burning stove, a huge bookcase… In Élodie and Joan’s living room, these two masterpieces are framed by two walls of siding from the Brique collection. Placed sometimes behind the stove, sometimes behind the books, the cladding gives rhythm to the space and relief to the whole.
Brick radiates warmth, literally and figuratively.
Thanks to her regular travels and her passion for theater and cinema, Élodie fell in love with Anglo-Saxon culture. “I wanted my home to reflect this culture. From the outset, I had in mind the brickwork found on the walls of London houses or New York lofts.”
After some research in stores and on the Internet, Élodie discovered the the Brique collection collection in red from ORSOL.
“It was exactly what I was looking for. The 5-tone brick offered an interesting modern, industrial feel, but I chose red brick for its warm, authentic feel. At home, we’re more into the rustic feel of old country houses. Wood for warmth, white for luminosity, moldings and wallpaper for authenticity… The industrial feel of our living room stands out from all this and adds a touch of dynamism.”
The industrial feel of our salon stands out from the rest and adds a touch of dynamism.
From the outset, I had in mind the brick found on the walls of London houses and New York lofts.
But today, this place is above all a family home, where we laugh, cry and build.
The high ceilings and bookshelves bring new perspectives to the living space. The brickwork creates yet another dimension, emphasizing the different spaces. When I started my story with this place, my goal was to build the house of my dreams, a place that felt like me. And when I see these brick walls that remind me of so many things, I tell myself I’ve succeeded. But today, this place is above all a family home, where we laugh, cry and build.
