DECORATION WITH MEANING
Interior design is an essential element of our homes. When we renovate, it drives our choices to create a “vintage design” universe. We innovate by using small quality workshops (Italian ceramists, Périgord ironworkers…) and by calling on rarer editors (Muse et Homme, Antoinette Poisson, Resistub…).

ORIGINAL CREATIONS
We also commission original creations (silkscreens, artists’ works, porcelain…) To evoke the history of the place, we design our own cement tile or mosaic motifs for each house, which are then handcrafted by an artisan.
AN OBJECT, A STORY
Every Fabel object has a story behind it.
- A store crate can be traced back to a draper in Nantes and the story of a lifetime of second-hand goods.
- The blue earthenware on a mantelpiece comes from a century-old Italian factory on the Amalfi coast, where people used to communicate with their hands.
- A lamp was bought at auction and refers to a great architect.
- A circular window was inspired by a Brooklyn boutique.
- Rare Azulejos were brought back from an earthenware factory in Portugal.
- A vintage clock hides the story of the turn-of-the-century Biarritz garage from which it came.
Each object tells the story of a journey, an adventure or a concept store we love.
ROOM NAMES
This ongoing search for meaning is also reflected in the names given to the rooms. Each one evokes a place, an encounter, a quest or an admired person, and then draws a discreet thread through the decor. The Soller room recalls a trip to the island of Majorca and sets the tone for the room. The Bikini room evokes the creation of the famous swimsuit and its banning in the Basque resort. The Locus Solus room evokes the architect GaeAulenti through his famous furniturecollection.
