Vigour Times: Taste Explored: Conversations with Interior Designer Rodolphe Parente

Francois Bradette, Vigour Times, 2 Sep 2023

My personal style signature consists of my classic black Acne Studios jeans paired with an Ami Paris hoodie. However, I like to incorporate a pop of color with items like a purple and green Isabel Marant jacket and silver bracelets from Le Gramme. Similar to my approach to design, I enjoy mixing and matching various technical pieces and accessories to create tension.

 

One recent purchase that I absolutely love is an ethereal painting by Xie Lei, an innovative Chinese artist. I discovered it at the Semiose gallery in Paris. The painting is truly unique, with its phantasmagorical style and vibrant colors.

 

Pantelleria in Sicily holds a special place in my heart. It is known as the Black Pearl of the Mediterranean and is located about 70km from the Tunisian coast. The island is wild and volcanic, with deep blue waters and stunning light. I have spent every summer there for the past seven years and recently acquired a house. Although I am half-French and half-Italian, Pantelleria feels like my true roots.
