Definitively on Left Bank (Rive gauche), its designer label cultivates Art as a way of life.

Oscar Lucien

Oscar Lucien’s passion for interior design and decoration began in childhood. He went on to study art history and fell in love with paintings by the masters and Caravaggio. His dream then came true in 2003 thanks to collector Bertrand Cheuvreux, who asked him to design the layout for his 5,400-m2 gallery in Barcelona. Also known as Oscar Ono, the designer later began creating his first projects.

Based in his Maison Numéro 20 showroom in Saint-Germain-des-Prés, he and his team developed the interiors of private luxury apartments and villas owned by clients in Paris, Ibiza, London and Miami. A bold, high-design style and a personal vision of sophistication and elegance have become Oscar Lucien’s trademark. “An identity based on that of the designers of yore”, he says. “A combination of architecture and art in which a culture of detail, comfort, fine materials, and light create flawless, harmonious interiors.”

As well as private residences, Oscar Lucien also works on the decor of luxury hotels, bars and restaurants. His work includes an haute-couture project for the Derby Alma hotel, a creative, fanciful space for the Maison Nabis hotel, and a festive, Belle-Epoque spirit in the revamped bar and private salons of the Paradis Latin cabaret. Oscar Lucien also received Prize for Originality at the Luxury and Creation Talent Awards.
