Integrating a magnificent fireplace, made of classic white marble, is difficult to modernize. Removing it would be disrespectful. I asked Gilles Chabrier, glass sculptor at the Bastille, to create this glass "box" with motifs designed by the sponsor herself. To contrast the whole, it was necessary to darken this chimney. A "peelable" varnish was applied directly to the marble before the plum hue and its pink/purple patina. Everything can be easily removed to restore the intact white marble.
