The Mademoiselle suite, inspired by the glamorous lifestyle of Coco Chanel, shows off furniture notable for its rare combination of elegance and invention, wit and charm- hinting at the Belle Epoque period of the past, it is now designed for the present- hinting at a sexy deliberate Mademoiselle with a purposeful outlook.
