COSTES X LIAIGRE CAPSULE COLLECTION
In 2015, Jean-Louis Costes entrusted Christian
Liaigre with the layout and decoration of the
newly acquired Hotel Lotti. An elegant address
located on Rue de Castiglione, nestled
between the Tuileries Garden, Place Vendôme,
and Rue du Faubourg Saint-Honoré, this luxury
hotel was once the preferred destination
of the Duke of Westminster and numerous
celebrities.
The project also aimed to connect the spaces
of Hotel Costes (designed by Jacques Garcia
in 1995) with those of Hotel Lotti and a more
recent third hotel located on Rue du Mont
Thabor, consolidating the three establishments
under a single brand: “Le Costes,” accessible
through a spectacular entrance on Rue de
Castiglione.
This
major
undertaking
marks
Christian
Liaigre’s final achievement. Inaugurated in the
early 2020s, Le Costes embodies the art of
living and timeless refinement that contributed
to the success of the architect-decorator and
his studio. While Jacques Garcia’s decoration
for Hotel Costes exudes a slightly theatrical
style, Christian Liaigre conceived a more
restrained approach, drawing inspiration from
both a neo-classical Parisian mansion and the
loft spirit.
From the lobby to the various suites and
rooms,
all
the
furniture
was
designed
specifically for this project. Today, some of
the creations born from this collaboration are
brought together in the exclusive Costes X
Liaigre capsule collection. In agreement with
Jean-Louis Costes, Studio Liaigre carefully
selected several iconic pieces of furniture
from the Costes collection, each expressing
the Parisian and cosmopolitan spirit of this
5-star hotel, which redefines the repertoire
of luxury hospitality. These pieces reflect the
Studio’s aesthetic vocabulary and creative
choices: simplicity and clean lines for visual
rest, furniture comfort and ergonomics, noble
materials, and meticulous attention to detail.
