Inner Worlds | Luis Laplace

The architect welcomes Art Basel to his sanctuary in Paris’s stately 9th arrondissement

The ‘Inner Worlds’ film series visits creatives in the places that inspire them

Recognized as one of the most innovative architects of our time, Luis Laplace combines art, craft, history, and modernity. Co-founder – together with his partner Christophe Comoy – and principal of Laplace, the Argentinian designed the gallery spaces for Hauser & Wirth in Menorca and Somerset, and is currently working on their new Paris gallery, set to open on Rue François-Ier this autumn. Other notable commissions include the Chillida Leku museum in San Sebastián, Spain. Laplace has also worked with many leading art world figures including artist Cindy Sherman and gallerist Emmanuel Perrotin, among others.

In this episode of ‘Inner Worlds’, we visit Luis Laplace at his atelier and home in the heart of Paris’s 9th arrondissement. With its subtle minimalism, the home displays a rich collection of design objects and pieces, including works by Paul McCarthy, Alice Colonieu, and Howard Warshaw. ‘I like to showcase a place’s DNA’, he says, ‘I don’t like formulas.’

Reconnu comme l’un des architectes les plus innovants de son époque, Luis Laplace allie artisanat, histoire et modernité. D’origine argentine, il est le directeur et co-fondateur du studio Laplace, créé à Paris en 2004 avec son partenaire Christophe Comoy. Au cours de sa carrière, il a créé les espaces de la galerie Hauser & Wirth à Minorque et dans le Somerset, et travaille en ce moment sur celui qui sera inauguré à Paris, rue François-Ier cet automne.
