Lofty Ideals

Shiri and Igor have created their lived-in home for entertaining and family fun — as well as a place to showcase their unusual design pieces.

Hidden behind the formal façade of a Parisian townhouse is a ‘roll up the rugs, kick up your heels and party’ kind of apartment, where the vibes are more New York townhouse than chic salon. Which, of course, makes it the perfect place to celebrate the New Year. ‘We’ll have dinner here with friends, so I’ll be doing more cooking than dancing,’ laughs Shiri Slavin, ‘but it is a great space for entertaining. We hate small rooms and low ceilings; this space feels free.’
