L’appartement de L’Artisan Parfumeur par Antoine Billore
The scent of a home is intangible and invisible, yet deeply bound to the way a domestic space is arranged, inhabited, and remembered. It is this relationship between interiors, objects, and atmosphere that shapes the Milan apartment reimagined by Antoine Billore for Salone del Mobile 2026. Installed in a ground-floor residence in Via Giovanni Lulli, the project becomes the setting for the French antiquarian and creator’s first collection of hybrid furniture, assembled from reclaimed elements and placed within an interior that feels less staged than fully lived in.
Created in collaboration with L’Artisan Parfumeur, the French niche fragrance house marking its fiftieth anniversary this year, the apartment does not treat furniture as an isolated display. Instead, it builds a domestic environment where objects and scents remain in constant dialogue. Throughout the rooms, the maison’s home fragrances enter a setting already dense with visual memory, making smell part of the space rather than a final addition.
The apartment is composed through accumulations, juxtapositions and small acts of visual insistence. Billore’s furniture sits naturally within this arrangement: a chair with an inlaid landscape back, a cabinet that reads almost like a painting, pieces that gain meaning through proximity to an old canvas, a tiled floor, a green leather armchair, a bedside lamp, or a vase of tulips. The apartment is full of these minor correspondences, and that is where its rhythm lies.
