Paris is Always a Good Idea and Nothing Does It Better than our Monocles by Essential Home From Audrey Hepburn Words ‘’Paris is always a good idea.” And especially now that we are a little bit obsessed with that Parisian Je ne sais quoi after Maison & Objet. So, from all that passion and inspiration Somewhere in Clichy - in the 9th arrondissement of Paris - there is a stunning place that was the subject of a home makeover by interior design studio 10surdix, that almost looks like taken from a movie.

The monocles circles are engraved on the back and side of the unit, giving it a strong personality and high end look.
