A chalet in Gstaad with a sumptuous decor
Giving free rein to their imagination, the Monegasque architects Emil Humbert & Christophe Poyet have embraced opulent extravagance for this splendid residence nestled in the heart of the Swiss Alps.
The traditional architecture of this 600 m² chalet is preserved in the framework: an imposing yet classic exterior that fits aristocratically into its alpine environment in Gstaad.
The interiors, on the other hand, play the card of proud and convincing modernity: entirely designed by the two architects using raw materials, transformed for a result of exceptional paradox.
The furs and hides used in our various creations accentuate luxury and voluptuousness with their light or warm colours. Cowhide and shearling rugs, coyote throws, and Tibetan shearling rugs or stools create a parade of tailor-made pieces, each more luxurious than the last.
Humbert & Poyet
The two French architects, Emil Humbert and Christophe Poyet, founded their agency Humbert & Poyet in 2007. They share a passion for creating timeless and elegant interiors and place great importance on details, finishes, and the interplay of materials and textures.
They usually present themselves as architects, as Emil is an architect by training and Christophe an interior designer, but these titles remain quite generic. Their agency indeed has a very broad scope of activity: design, interior architecture, decoration, scenography, some landscaping, and they even design furniture and tissues.
They place a lot of importance on detail in the decoration of each of their projects, and each of their inspirations is totally convergent on a daily basis, with constant exchanges in service of the project and the idea.
Their collaborative work has allowed them to jointly create the identity of the agency and their common style.
