The designer’s former apartment-studio, located in the 7th arrondissement of Paris, will be put up for sale at a notary auction on March 26. Its starting price is 5 million euros.
Five years after the death of the designer, the fate of the house of Karl Lagerfeld will finally be sealed. Died on February 19, 2019, the man who was artistic director of Chanel since 1983 owned a spacious 260 square meter apartment located on the Quai Voltaire in the 7th arrondissement of Paris. This extraordinary place will be put up for sale at a notary auction on March 26 with a starting price of 5.3 million euros.
In real estate agent parlance, this is an exceptional property. The building, which dates back to 1964, is located in the very posh 7th arrondissement, not far from ministries, embassies and even Matignon. A breathtaking view of the Seine, but also the Tuileries Garden and the Louvre. The apartment has a huge living room filled with countless books, a dressing room, a kitchen, a bathroom, a bathroom and a bedroom overlooking the courtyard, all in an avant-garde style “that embodies the aesthetics of Lagerfeld’s vision”. to the details of the notaries responsible for the sale.
Place of creation
“This property, previously used, among other things, as a creative workshop by the legendary Karl Lagerfeld, was the scene of his iconic creations, offering a fertile ground for his ingenuity,” the same press release states. The auction is scheduled for March 26 at the Paris Chamber of Commerce and Industry. While it is said that places are always imbued with the spirit of the creator who died at the age of 85, we assume, without going too far, that the apartment-workshop will find a buyer in a few seconds.
