It’s A Man’s World…

…well, at least it is today at cabbagerose…I came across Stunning (with a capital ‘S’) masculine bedroom designs for the fellas at D Pages today that merit a look-see.  Inspired by Alex at D Pages, I thought a visit to this minimal modern apartment in Paris would be a nice follow-up (thanks, Plastolux).  Frederic Berthier Architecture selected a beautiful color palette and materials; white marble mixed with light leather and wood; to create a calming bachelor space…

…this is ‘a moment,’ yes?…
