Designer Fabrice Juan reimagined the interiors of this stunning retreat in Cap Ferret, France.

Conceived in 1970 by architect Michel Pétuaud-Létang, the house nestles among maritime pines, overlooking Arcachon Bay on the Atlantic coast.

A Camille Le Dressay sculpture perches on the travertine bar counter in the kitchen, which opens to a dining area where Juan designed the plaster ceiling light, the lacquer-top table, and the rug as well as the chairs, produced by Marc de Berny. The tabletop ceramics are by LRNCE, the sculpture in the corner is by Xavier Veilhan, and a Casamance fabric was used for the curtains.

The organic sculptures conceived by artist Camille Le Dressay complement the villa’s environment with a sandy appearance and undulations that recall ocean waves. “Her ceramics intertwine; the lines ripple and merge,” notes Juan. “This effect creates multiple perspectives and cavities.” Shown here is Limaille, a hand-built stoneware piece enriched with iron oxide that exudes an enthralling complexity.

Gentle curves abound in the dining area, which features a rounded cornice and wide columns with swooping cutouts. Anchoring the space is a bespoke table with an oval shape echoed in the plaster light fixture above and custom rug below. The chairs are Fabrice Juan Editions for Marc de Berny, as is the sconce.

Ferm Living pendants hang in the kitchen, which features custom brushed-oak cabinetry—offset by a backsplash of Maison Surface tiles—as well as a lacquered metal table and a travertine bar, all by Juan, who also designed the plates and the poufs, upholstered in Nya Nordiska fabrics.

At one end of the living room, a Xavier Veilhan stabile presides over a den-like seating area with Juan-designed furnishings, including tables made by Marc de Berny that host a Camille Le Dressay ceramic sculpture and Pierre Cardin vases.

An artwork by Martin d’Orgeval is installed over a guest room’s custom-made bed with pillows in a Misia fabric; the rug is a Juan design made by Marc de Berny.

On the wraparound terrace, a chair by Juan is poised to provide exceptional views.

Drawing inspiration from the texture of dry, crackled earth, French ceramist Karen Swami creates vessels beloved by designer Fabrice Juan, who arrayed several in this Cap Ferret project. “She’s at one with the clay as she crafts her pieces,” he says of the artist, who applies exquisite glazes to her wheel-thrown works before burnishing them with agate and then bisque firing them. “She leaves an indisputable mark.”

“The exterior of this cabin is made entirely of wood in the spirit of the houses on the peninsula,” explains Juan of the detached guest quarters, located at the water’s edge. “I sheathed the floors, walls, and ceilings in the pinewood typically used for Cap Ferret villas, playing on the angle of the strips to add a graphic aesthetic.”

Juan devised a constellation of plaster rings for the serpentine walls of the entryway. “My inspiration for creating these large circles came from the existing curves of the house,” he explains. “I was also influenced by the work of French designer Michel Boyer, who in the 1970s often used these very rounded shapes. I wanted to generate a strong rhythm and design.”

It’s easy to get lost in the pigmented swirls of Corine van Voorbergen’s work, which often contains a mix of acrylic, ink, and natural pigments, all coated in a slick epoxy skin. Examples can be found in the boutiques of Louis Vuitton, which has been collaborating with her since 2021. In this home, an artwork by the Amsterdam talent plays off the guest room’s Léon Wuidar canvas.

Belgian abstractionist Léon Wuidar, who conjured the guest bedroom’s vibrant, puzzle-like painting, made his name in the art scene during the 1960s with surrealist pieces inspired by Paul Klee, before later developing a more architectural approach. “I love the solid tones and the colors he uses,” says Juan. “The piece installed here, Composition (1999), suited the room because of its bold and colorful aspect.”
