Dorothée Delaye's style has been shaped over the years, between Paris, Marseille, the French South-West, and her other loves: Florida, California and Brazil. A life like a journey, she finds a wellspring of inspiraIon from elements, nature, and movement.
Delaye designs for private residences, villas, restaurants and luxury hotels. From Gabrielle Chanel's private apartment to Jean-François Piège's new table at the Hôtel de la Marine, from a collector's house in Hossegor for Iconic House and the Hôtel Mercedes for Paris Society. In Paris and London, as well as on the shores of the Mediterranean, new projects are emerging.
Inspired by history and the natural and territorial roots of places, Dorothée Delaye revives interiors with elegance. She awakens sleeping beauties by pushing boundaries, taking risks and cultivating the art of contrasts and harmony. Her collaborations with craftsmen, artists and emerging talents give rise to spaces and furniture designed to stand the test of time.
Delaye’s taste for bold design, passion for custom pieces, and creative freedom embody her first furniture collection, Habiter sur l'eau. Revealed at Paris Design Week in September 2024, the first opus brings together intimate creations driven by a penchant for natural materials and her signature curvy, soft edge style.
