In the first of two living rooms in Aline Hazarian’s Haussmann-era Paris residence, a Joan Miró painting is mounted between 19th-century sconces on paneling by Féau Boiseries. Hazarian designed the sofa and chairs, all upholstered in Dedar fabrics, as well as the stool, the cocktail table that hosts a sculpture by Costas Coulentianos, and the bookshelves, which are topped by antique bronze sculptures. The custom-made rug is by JD Staron.

Hazarian installed a spectacular 1920s Art Deco chandelier from Spain above the table and chairs she designed for the dining room, which also features antique marble consoles, custom velvet-clad benches, curtains in a Fadini-Borghi fabric, and parquet de Versailles flooring by Féau Boiseries.

Views from the apartment take in the Arc de Triomphe.

In the second living room, ornamented with gilt paneling and moldings by Atelier Mériguet-Carrère, a Max Ernst painting flanked by 19th-century sconces overlooks a seating area where a sofa, chairs, and multiple tables by Hazarian are arrayed around long cocktail tables by Eric Schmitt, joined by a pair of Liaigre lamps. At the room’s center, a custom daybed is covered in a Fadini-Borghi fabric, while on the sides, artworks by Zao Wou-Ki (left) and Pablo Picasso are mounted above consoles by Hazarian.

An Alexander Calder painting, displayed between windows curtained in a Dedar fabric, adds a colorful note to the dark-paneled living room, where an 18th-century La Granja chandelier dazzles above the Hazarian-designed leather sofa, which curls around a marble-and- bronze table topped with Hermès coffee cups.

The primary bedroom features a wall covering and curtain fabric by Dedar, bed linens by Frette, a mirror by Lalique, and a rug by JD Staron. Hazarian designed the lounge chair, lamp, side table, and hide-upholstered ottoman.

One of the greatest 20th- century Chinese artists, Zao Wou-Ki conjured mesmerizing canvases that meld the traditional Eastern landscape painting of his heritage with the abstract techniques he absorbed in the West. Zao was considered a national treasure in France, where he immigrated in 1948, and his work was as red-hot in 1960s New York as it is today. This masterpiece, <i>04.08.98</i> (1998), is one of two lots by the artist included in Sotheby’s Modern & Contemporary Art sale in Hong Kong in November.

Aline Hazarian sought to find an artwork that would offer a bold contrast to her elaborate 19th-century fireplace, and she did just that with Lucio Fontana’s Spatial Concept, Expectations (1959), one of the Argentine Italian artist’s most striking slashed canvases due to its shape and hue. “It’s both dynamic and harmonious,” Hazarian notes, “and adds a contemporary energy that breathes modernity into the space.”

Found in a Paris antiques shop, a pair of 1920s Spanish chandeliers is the centerpiece of the dining room, creating an “immersive, theatrical dining experience,” says Hazarian. “I always emphasize lighting as it can completely transform how a room feels. When you have a table that can seat 24, it’s essential to ensure the space is anything but dull.”

Nané, an ancient Armenian goddess, is the name of a standout piece in Hazarian’s collection of bronze furnishings, which are crafted in a Lebanese foundry and sold at Maison Gerard in New York with other designs from her namesake collection. The three-legged cocktail table features an intricate, woven-like surface that’s as elegant as it is organic in spirit.

In one of the living rooms, Hazarian knew she needed a charismatic design element to balance a commanding painting by Pablo Picasso, titled Nu Assis et Joueur de Flûte. So in 2021, she conceived Shivini, a lustrous gold and polished-bronze console inspired by stalactites. Its off-kilter shape provides some zing to the otherwise classical feel of the space.

The walls of the office are lined with Cordoba leather panels by Atelier Mériguet- Carrière, whose artisans have crafted interiors at Château de Versailles, Palais de l’Élysée, and some of the finest hotels in Paris. “It’s one of my favorite materials—it adds an air of sophistication that grounds the room,” says Hazarian. As she and her husband often work from home, “it’s a space that needs to inspire focus and productivity.”

The floor lamp in Hazarian’s collection is named Arev, “god of the sun” in Armenian. Made entirely of patinated textured bronze, the piece showcases a shade with a polished interior that emanates a warm glow even when the fixture is not illuminated. Its only ornamentation is a seal in the shape of an asymmetrical sunburst.
