I've always found his homes hilarious to read about. I remember reading about his era where he only used candlelight, because it was "authentic to the era" or something and only let Anna Piaggi use an electric light in her room, so she could write.

His approach to decoration and houses is very interesting.
I like his taste in decoration. I think his taste in decoration is different with his « obsessions » though. When you see the photos of his apartment at Monte-Carlo, his house that Amanda showed for Vogue, his Rue de l’Universite place during the 00´s, his place at Biarritz and even his apartment Rue des Saint-Peres, there’s a real sense of aesthetic. It’s mix and match and you get « Karl ».
I had the pleasure to go to his « Les Grands Appartements » at Le Crillon and you get his taste.
The 18th century very definitive thing is a bit like Memphis and his last futuristic place. It feels most like a statement than « his taste » even if it influence his taste. I don’t know how to properly explain it. I think because his life was his work, having those kinds of environnement allowed him to push his POV regarding his work.
He used very vibrant colors in the 80’s/90’s… Ther was a sheer of metal in his approach to color in his work in the 00’s and 2010´s or it was muted…
