A Collaborative Interior in Pigalle, Paris

At Hotel Massé, the interiors tell a collective story. Housed in a Haussmannian building near Place Pigalle, the 40-room hotel—spread over six floors—was imaged by siblings Éole and Corto Peyron as a deliberately collaborative project. Rather than collapsing ideas into a blueprint executed in house, they invited a wide circle of architects, designers, artists, and suppliers to contribute distinct pieces. The result is a hotel with a strong sense of personality, shaped less by trend than by the collection of many considered hands.

Designed by Juliette Gasparetto and Julie Parenti of Gasparetto Parenti, who both trained at Festen Architecture, the rooms are intended to be lived in like a local apartment. No two are alike. Burgundy corridors give way to light-filled spaces with balconies, okoumé wood, and maritime pine, furnished with custom pieces by the architects alongside vintage furniture, velvet seating, and 1970s-style carpeting. Here, we walk through the hotel profiling the details and naming the artist/designer behind each.
