At Home in Paris with Timothy Corrigan

At Home with Timothy Corrigan via Quintessence-1

Every since designer Timothy Corrigan lived in Paris as an advertising executive in the late 1980s, he has been a devoted francophile, in love not only with the beauty of France but also the country’s respect for its own culture and history. So it is no surprise that he maintains a residence in Paris as well as an office to service his many international clients. With a vast knowledge of antiques and the French decorative arts, Timothy’s signature style is to infuse each project with a timeless elegance and contemporary comfort – where design details and customization meet practicality – perhaps a marriage of his American and European sensibilities. Please join us in Paris with Timothy Corrigan as Susanna and I visit his beautiful 19th century apartment.

While Tim certainly has a reverence for the architectural details and provenance of his apartment, there is a certain insouciance to how he has layered the art and antiques, mixed with both his Schumacher fabric and furniture collections and more contemporary pieces. From the art hanging on mirrored doors to the strategically placed white marble of busts bridging the gap between old and new with the more modern white upholstery and the antique boiserie.

From Schumacher and (curtains above), Patterson, Flynn & Martin, to THG, Fromental, Royal Limoges and Samuel & Sons, the range reflects Tim’s passions and knowledge.
