Appropriately for a city that has set the standard for tastes and styles of the modern world, Le Paris can afford to be coy with its charms. Though it juxtaposes a metallic finish with light and unobtrusive wood tones, the art is in the details. By declining to obscure the complexities of the wood’s textures with paints or dyes, Le Paris allows an element of natural randomness to creep into the overall aesthetic—a deft trick that only the truly sophisticated have the daring to pull off.
