Coco Chanel's Apartment, 31 Rue Cambon

A peek into the apartment of the great Coco Chanel. The lady behind the little black dress unsurprisingly had serious style on every level. There was no kitchen or bedroom in this apartment. Instead Chanel would retire to the Ritz in the evenings.

Her living room, complete with suede upholstered sofa - a revolution in those times.

Chinese lacquered screens used as wall coverings.

Beautiful Mirrors



More Chinese lacquered screens...
  
The famous mirrored spiral staircase designed by Chanel herself, so that she could see what was happening on every level of her apartment!

Looking into the dining room, with more ornate pieces and gilt framed mirrors.


The legacy lives on!
