After the remarkable openings of a Provençal farmhouse at the foot of the Alpilles and a Basque-Landes residence on the shores of the Hossegor marine lake, Iconic House is enriching its private collection of houses for rent with the inauguration of the chalet Le 1550 at the heart of the 3 Valleys, the largest ski area in the world.
A new exceptional residence in the Alps
In the wake of the first two properties, the latest opus of the group led by Thibaud Elzière and his brother Robin Michel offers a service worthy of the greatest hotels, embellished with a range of local experiences to enjoy during a stay in this alpine setting. perched on the heights of Courchevel. Staged by the interior design firm Atelier Giffon and the decorator and art curator Joséphine Fossey, a recurring collaborator of Iconic House, this discreetly luxurious refuge offers a well-felt tribute to modernist architecture. carried by the ageless work of Charlotte Perriand, not without a just dose of singularity.
A discreet luxury decor
Practicing a mastered off-piste one-on-one with the snow-capped peaks, Chalet 1550 delivers a score of authentic charm punctuated with audacity at the antipodes of flashy ostentation. In this decor, vintage pieces and bespoke furniture, all-over wood, and striking decorative biases mingle. With extensions designed to marry the mountain and the original building, the chalet spread over 700 m2 has eight suites, a living room with a monumental fireplace in Mont Blanc granite, a dining room where a gigantic green lacquered wooden table sits, a professional kitchen, a terrace surrounded by fir trees but also a projection room, a Sport & Wellness area and a games room calibrated to occupy young and old.
We retain the seventies identity of the textiles designed by the Atelier des Frères, a local upholsterer-creator, the subtle dialogue between the collection of embodied works selected by Joséphine Fossey and the frescoes, like chromatic flat areas, which we can guess here and there. The opportunity to visit the places in pictures. Inspiration guaranteed.
