Step Inside The Home of Christian Lacroix Maison’s Creative Director
Designer and decorator Sacha Walckhoff, creative director of Maison Christian Lacroix since 2010, opens the doors to the home he shares with partner Pascal Ferrero, an internationally known wig and hair designer for the film and theatre industry.
Located on the right bank of Paris inside a historic 19th century building, Sacha Walckhoff, has carved out his own unique home that celebrates the art of living.
The spectacular 135 m2 apartment echoes Sacha’s key influences, from Madeleine Castaing to the ‘Group A’ art movement. Marked by a sense of creativity and freedom, the apartment houses creations from Christian Lacroix Maison, offering an immersive voyage into the mind of the designer.
The living room features black and white patterned chairs which are upholstered with the ‘Cabanon’ fabric, boasting Lacroix’s signature chevron. The geometric lines fuse with the property’s authentic 19th century architectural details, antique decor and vibrant colours to create an eclectic, vibrant and welcoming space.
The apartment is rich, flamboyant and multifunctional, effortlessly adapting to Sacha and Pascal’s lifestyle – offering inspiration and comfort when working from home to hosting clients to share new ideas.
Sacha Walckhoff’s background heritage is from French, Swiss, Slavic and African roots, Sacha influences are as diverse as his origins. His long association with fashion icon Christian Lacroix began in 1992 and continued for most of the ensuing two decades, with interludes designing menswear, womenswear and accessory collections for Kenzo and Michel Klein along the way. His tenure as hand-groomed successor to Lacroix culminated with his appointment to the post of Creative Director in 2010, from which he has led an ambitious expansion of the
Lacroix brand into new areas of lifestyle design and home décor. More recently, Walckhoff has branched into new ventures beyond Lacroix, where he has defined and developed his own uniquely stylised vocabulary on projects such as a rug and wallpaper collection with YO2, a collection of visually stunning wallpapers with Graham & Brown, ‘Magic Garden’ a tableware collection with Rosenthal, a limited edition collection of porcelain vases with Portuguese manufacture Vista Alegre, a series of Bohemian glass pieces with Verreum, among others.
