Hôtel Claude Passart designed by Gabriel Soulignac was built in 1618. It is the Paris home of Pilar and Juan Pablo Molyneux. And it also serves as a kind of showroom for Juan Pablo Molyneux to meet and entertain his extensive list of internationally clients.
Juan Pablo Molyneux is internationally acclaimed interior designer, and one of my favorite designers with office in Paris and New York. Born in Santiago, Chile in 1946, he study architecture at the Universidad Católica of Santiago, later on went on to Ecole des Beaux Arts and the Ecole du Louvre. While schooling in France, Mr. Molyneux study the work of French architects Louis Le Vau, Ange-Jacques Gabriel, and Claude-Nicolas Ledoux were he first acquired his knowledge of historical and classicist styles.
Mr. Molyneux once noted that "he thought of his work as a magnificent opportunity to choose things from different sources and places and combine them to produce new and different takes on reality." His reality exudes the best of classicists with bold and refined accentuations, which splendidly give ways to thorough interpretation of the environment in its purest and subliminal forms that only a master of his trade, and a perfectionist of some sort can delivers.
Mr. Molyneux has created private residences in South America, the United States, Canada, Europe, Russia, and the Middle East. His public spaces include the Pavilion of Treaties for the Federation of Russia in St. Petersburg and several public rooms of the Cercle de l’Union Interalliée in Paris. He has also designed the interiors of a Boeing 737, private jets, and a number of suites aboard the ocean liner “World of Residensea.”
For more than four decades, Mr. Molyneux has "make interiors people want to belong to—forever.” He married Pilar in 1975.
