An alliance of beauty, expertise and finesse.

“Every client, aspiration, place, and project is unique.
Interior design is a shared adventure,
exploring timelessness, beauty, and harmony.”

Didier Lorence

A Prerequisit for
timeless chic

Timelessness and beauty in design result from deliberate planning, not chance. This involves examining space, light, and materials. Enduring elegance comes from understanding and optimizing a space’s dimensions, natural light, and material selection.

Space serves as the canvas, dictating design direction based on functionality and atmosphere. Light, both natural and artificial, shapes perception and mood. Materials add depth, chosen for aesthetics, functionality, and longevity, with natural materials aging gracefully.

Achieving timeless chic requires a holistic approach, integrating all elements harmoniously for a beautiful, enduring space.

A style to serve
the project

Maison Lorence’s style emphasizes understanding and expression, translating visions and aspirations into textures, colors, lighting, and furnishings to create unique spaces tailored for clients. Operating on deep understanding and articulate expression, they meticulously grasp each client’s distinct vision and essence of their desired space. This comprehension guides the selection of textures, colors, lighting, and furnishings, ensuring a cohesive and personalized environment.

The result is a bespoke creation reflecting the client’s personality and lifestyle, with every detail visually captivating and deeply personal. Maison Lorence prioritizes the client’s needs, crafting spaces that resonate uniquely with them.

Human
at heart

Each project is primarily a meeting of unique personalities, each a source of ideas. Didier Lorence’s goal is to blend agility with harmony, ensuring timely project completion and excellence. Harmony unites every detail—materials, art, furniture, and layouts—to reflect the client’s vision. Didier values the human aspect, crafting spaces that resonate with personal stories and aspirations.

Through collaborative dialogue with clients, designers, and craftsmen, we refine the project to align perfectly with the client’s goals, creating spaces that are aesthetically pleasing, deeply personal, and functional for years to come.
