Laurence Beysecker, co-founder of interior design studio Atelierd&l, and her family returned to Hong Kong in January. They may have only inhabited their new home in Hong Kong for a few months, but upon exploring the space, it’s difficult to imagine it looking any other way. “Of course I’m influenced by French culture, since I’m French,” Laurence explains. “I like colour, definitely. Texture, a lot of textiles. I like to layer things to make the interiors really warm and personal. I don’t like minimal and black-and-white and cold.” Laurence’s love of textiles can also easily be seen in the ample rugs and throws that cocoon the rooms of the house.
While Laurence’s work as a designer might contribute to how she chooses to arrange her space, ultimately her home is a place to showcase her personality and surround herself with mementos from important occasions throughout her life. “When you travel a lot, I think it’s very important to have a home of your own where you can feel good,” she says. “It’s really about creating a composition that reflects your personality. I have accumulated all of these objects throughout my life and travels. I like objects that tell a story and that can create a dialogue.”
