Jean Paul Gaultier
re-enters the world of interior decor design for the first time in over 15 years with French furniture brand Roche Bobois. His last contribution to furniture construction was extremely well received in 1992 when he created Roman style thrones in collaboration with VIA. His inspiration for the design was his conception that, "It's a jungle in Paris. It's nature, ecology, plants—let's say, reality," Gaultier said to WWD, "is all about dressing; it's always about fashion." These Gaultier trademarks are prevalent and obvious in the makeover he concieved for the Elle Decoration suite in Paris, which has been previously re-designed by both Maison Martin Margiela and Christian Lacroix.

A gorgeous, lush day room with moss covered sofas and abundant greenery create a whimsical little escape at the top floor of the museum of architecture.

Gaultier's signature blue and white nautical stripes were of course included in the interior makeover.
This experiment is just a preview of the new designs he'll be releasing this fall. Keep your eyes peeled for Monsieur Gaultier's new developments.
