It would seem that we know about the creative potential of Jean-Paul Gautier all. And the fact that his customers are Madonna and Marilyn Manson, and that his clothing collections are famous for their unpredictable extravagance, and even that he created costumes for such world-famous films as "City of Lost Children", "The Fifth Element" and "Kika. "But few of us know that Gauthier is engaged in interior design, and it is about the concept of his vision bedrooms , as an element of sensual luxury, and we want to talk in this article.
The broken geometry of space is the main thing in the concept of Gauthier , which strives to change the space to the point that the very idea of the room changes as a closed, familiar square. The use of niches, external walls, volume corners - all this is used to fill the bedroom with an atmosphere of mystery, mystery, if you like - alcove.
The windows are almost completely removed and this makes the bedroom a place of complete and final solitude. If the windows remain, they are given the least attention, due to the fact that they are densely curtained, and even completely hidden. The role of the windows is covered with parchment-covered illuminated screens, which fills the bedrooms with air and space.
Beds are low, which achieves incredible eroticism of all the details. It is the low, without any distracting attention to the elements of the bed, that allows the proposed Gautier to interpret space as late Gothic, as well as to the early Baroque, and also to the oriental style.
Using only warm, maximum natural colors and shades creates a feeling of complete merging with nature. It is thanks to this that the bedrooms of Gaultier never go out of fashion, literally existing outside of it, literally seeking to merge with the archetypes of eternity, silence and oblivion.
For this , Jean Paul Gaultier maximizes the color solution of its bedrooms , then to the images of the old pine on the seashore, then the snow-covered stone, or even to the bamboo thickets gently rustling in the autumn wind.
Soft and muted light creates a feeling of final harmony and peace for anyone who finds themselves in such a bedroom. In such bedrooms do not want to talk loudly, do not want to remember the problems, do not want to return to the affairs of the day left behind their granites. Sensual pleasure is what so often tries to convey in its works Gautier , and what is reflected in the bedroom design .
Carpets - as an indispensable attribute of comfort. Without them, not a single bedroom. But pay attention to the fact that all the carpets serve only for one - that a man who has risen from bed, stepped on them, not feeling the hostile cold of the floor. Their purpose is purely functional, and that's why they fit so perfectly into all the other deliberately creative design.
In the transcription Gautier, the bedroom is the woman's dwelling place, and therefore practically in all design decisions there is a cosmetic table, a full-length mirror, then shelves for trinkets. But pay attention - nowhere there are wardrobes, and this is easily explained."Come in to drop clothes," - so explains the absence of the designer himself.
After all, for the Jean-Paul Gaultier, the bedroom is also a sacred place, and so it is so securely hidden from prying eyes. We have already spoken about windows. It's time to talk about the doors - they are certainly present in any of the bedrooms decorated with the Gaultier , but notice that they are all arranged so that even when you enter the door, you will not immediately see the main sanctuary of the bedroom - her bed.
Of course, all these decisions of the great Master should be taken into account when we are dealing with the reconstruction of our own bedrooms. And if we do this without imitating, and trying first of all to convey that spirit and meaning that Gauthier invests in his vision of the bedroom , then we will not get "almost like in the photos from the site", namely as the great JeanFields of Gaultier .
