Introduction
“Houses are built to live in, and not to look on”, said a great English philosopher
of the sixteenth century. The kind of home born from care, imagination, and LE-
MA’s artisanal expertise is just that: a home that breathes and welcomes, where
thoughts blossom and come to seek refuge, where hands create and eyes meet
other eyes. In this home, life happens with all its richness, its confusion, its energy
that makes the world turn and travels the world over. LEMA’s style has also traveled
far, because the versatility and refinement of its furnishings interpret different sto-
ries, each one deeply personal, each one intimately connected to individual lives.
In LEMA’s atlas, open to marvellous landscapes, three homes
shine, three dimensions, three experiences, all united by a
single desire: to build a place where one can be and be seen,
where one can love and be loved. The journey begins among
the sumptuous volumes of an oriental villa, continues in a his-
toric Parisian residence, and concludes in a penthouse over-
looking New York’s skyline. Each of these homes is both a ge-
ographical and a spiritual latitude. Each is made to be lived in,
not merely admired. For the curious, the author of the opening
quote is Sir Francis Bacon. So much culture, so much beauty,
so much freedom lives in a LEMA home.
