About the Book

Discover Gabrielle "Coco" Chanel's vacation villa on the French Riviera, where she entertained the leading lights of the French cultural scene in the 1930s and 1940s. In 1928, Gabrielle Chanel built La Pausa, a magnificent villa in Roquebrune in the South of France. Designed and decorated by the couturiere herself, it was her refuge for decades, and where she welcomed many friends—leading artistic, cultural, and high-society figures such as the Duke of Westminster, Pablo Picasso, Salvador Dalí, and Jean Cocteau. Plunging the reader into the bustling atmosphere of the Côte d'Azur in the 1930s, this book showcases all facets of her Mediterranean home—its conception and construction, unique architecture and gardens, and the artists and creatives it inspired. The luxurious tome is bound in Orient blue cloth with an inlaid portrait of the villa, seven-color printing on two paper stocks, and three facsimile inserts—Chanel's correspondence with Picasso and Dalí and an architectural plan of the villa. Expert essays and rare archival materials are completed with a conversation between Yana Peel and Peter Marino (who recently restored the villa) and a chronology. Reflecting the creativity and singularity of the iconic fashion designer, La Pausa is a monument to the private world of Gabrielle Chanel.

Review :
“Architect Peter Marino, who has collaborated with the French luxury brand [Chanel] for more than three decades, pored over hundreds of archival photographs to recreate the original interiors of La Pausa, the legendary designer’s home — complete with a mirrored bathroom that echoes the Art Deco staircase of her couture salon in Paris.... He details the [restoration] process in “La Pausa: The Ideal Mediterranean Villa of Gabrielle Chanel,” a 350-page coffee table book to be published by Flammarion in French and English in September. Illustrated with 500 exclusive photographs and unpublished archival documents, it captures a golden moment in time between the wars.” — Women’s Wear Daily "When Amy Astley arrived at Architectural Digest nearly 10 years ago, she sought to bring fresh life, improvisation and irreverence, and above all, celebrity glamour to the hidebound interior design magazine. This compilation of the past decade under her tenure is a who’s who of actors, musicians, designers, artists and other bold-type names, from Lenny Kravitz to Julianne Moore, Cara Delevingne to Kendall Jenner, in their ultra-luxe private lairs from L.A. to the Cotswolds to Copenhagen." — Frederic
