Mirabaud Mercier is pleased to announce the sale of the furniture from the apartment of the famous Parisian fashion designer. The name of this aesthete is associated with princely balls, crowned heads and it-girls of the 90s.

Alexandre Zouari is the jet set, sophisticated socialites, international gotha, but also an entrepreneurial soul with Haute Couture elegance, a true visionary whose professional know-how has made him famous all over the world.

His apartment was a mecca of Parisian social life and was home to many of the personalities of his time.

The staging of Alexandre Zouari's apartment is a true homage to the Madeleine Castaing style that he knew well and that had decorated his previous apartment.

In this stronghold of neoclassical aesthetics, Alexandre Zouari does not hesitate to associate with poetry and elegance pretty bronzes by Arman, a pair of consoles designed by Emilio Terry, furniture by Adnet, Baccarat lights, or pretty furniture in clear Austrian wood from the Biedermeier period, with paintings and charming objects, in praise of the 19th century.

This sale is therefore an opportunity to discover a more intimate Alexandre Zouari who wishes to change his decor.
