^To the best of my knowledge, he's had the library/studio for a lot longer than his Quai Voltaire flat, and I'm pretty sure that's only one story, while the library's a minimum of 30 feet tall.
By the way, I have an idea... so Karl and Diane Kruger are neighbors, but you know what would be awesome? If here at tFS we started a fund to buy a pad in their building. Somebody here has to be a millionaire, right? We could make it a (Double C) Commune for all of us Karl stalkers. Deal?

Now that I think of it... I do remember Karl talking a couple years ago how he had an apartment that was 100% historically accurate 18th century on one floor and completely contemporary on the floor below it. Was he referring to the Quai Voltaire apartment?

^^no, that was the Rue de l'Université "Hotel Particulier". What we see his house in paris both in Signé Chanel and Lagerfeld Confidentiel is all filmed there.
He didn't own the place, so he moved to Quai Voltaire (the spaceship).
btw, the rue de l'Université mansion is also the place where the Olsens showed their last The Row collection. It also held some magazine party this week I think.
When Karl was there, it was all modern art one floor, and as you said 18th century in the other.
It wasn't like that all the time though... as we know, Karl loves to decorate, redecorate, and reredecorate.
You are right about the 7L bookstore and his studio+privatelibrary: they are both on Rue de Lille. that's where he is interviewed in Karl Un Roi Seul, where he takes pictures for all the press kits, where he dazzles people with the massive amount of books he has (apparently he has more than those we see there, but he has other libraries. did i read somewhere that he has one in the outskirts of Paris?)
About Quai Voltaire (the spaceship), what Diane Kruger said is that he is trying to buy ALL the apartments in the building... so I wouldnt want to enter a highest-bidder game with Karl! Sorry ilaughead, we'll have to settle with Le Ritz

I read (not in the ridiculouslyexpensiveWWD...) that they are installing it in front of the Institut du Monde Arabe in Paris.
It's a very beautiful museum (and square) in Paris. The pavilion won't hold the chanel exhibition anymore, but contemporary art expositions. it's the arab institute that bought it from chanel, so they will curate the exhibitons.
good news is, the IdMA is free, so the Chanel Pavilion should also be open to all public!!

Well, they say everyone has a boss, but here is a picture I never expected to see!! Shocking!! (BTW- The 'unidentified woman' is Maureen Chiquet, CEO of Chanel S.A.) I have never seen any of them around Karl before- a very secretive crew...
