\n\t\t\t\t\tInterior Design French Riviera: Meet Bjarni Breidfjord \u2013 Minister for the Interiors\t\n\t\t\t\t <\/p>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n <\/div>\n \n\n\n

Making your property of greater inspiration and value means working with the right professionals that don\u2019t demand a certain style is implemented but rather a company that listens to your needs compliments your lifestyle and follows up even well after the project has finished.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You will find this and more with Luxoria, headed by the talented Bjarni Breidfjord<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How did you start your career in interior design?<\/h6>\n\n\n\n

I studied at the Pompeu Fabra University in Barcelona when a job offer brought me to the French Riviera in 2004. In 2007, friends of mine bought a villa in Mougins which needed some serious work and this was my first design assignment on the coast.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How long have you been working in the interior design?<\/h6>\n\n\n\n

I started 18 years ago but things only got serious when I opened my company Luxoria<\/a> in 2007.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What inspires you?<\/h6>\n\n\n\n

My travels, history, art and anything I see that can spark an idea. A visit to the flea market or a gallery exhibition can prove inspiration. Needless to say, I\u2019m also inspired by architecture and designs by my contemporaries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Your work is very well known throughout the C\u00f4te d\u2019Azur. How long has this part of the world been your home?<\/h6>\n\n\n\n

I landed here in Autumn 2004, my intention was to spend a year on the coast but the rest is history.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What makes the C\u00f4te d\u2019Azur special for you?<\/h6>\n\n\n\n

I love the light on the French Riviera, the breathtaking landscapes and the diversity from Monaco to St. Tropez. It\u2019s very romantic; I keep falling in love with the place time and<\/p>\n\n\n\n

time over.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And you also have an office in Paris?<\/h6>\n\n\n\n

We are based in Saint-Germain in Paris. When we opened there I made it a condition that it wouldn\u2019t be too far to walk to Caf\u00e9 de Flore and Les Deux Magots. I love Paris and tend to spend as much time there as possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Do you have a team of employees working with you?<\/h6>\n\n\n\n

I have a strong team and without them I wouldn\u2019t be able to deliver the quantities of projects we do. I have an amazing, international team that stand by me and participate in my adventures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Do you find it to be a beneficial to have a multi-cultural team because of your clientele base?<\/h6>\n\n\n\n

Yes, it is true we speak several languages but I think it\u2019s also very interesting because we all approach the design from a different angle and the conversation becomes so much more alive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We have also studied in different countries so the accentuation is different but to the benefit of the client.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I might also add that we are a mix of interior architects, product designers and industrial designers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is the first thing that usually captures your eye when you enter a room?<\/h6>\n\n\n\n

I am very sensitive to the flow inside any property we take on. I believe in energy and if it\u2019s not fluid, there\u2019s something not working. For me it all starts with the layout of each project we take on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What does your own home say about you?<\/h6>\n\n\n\n

I would say it\u2019s pretty revealing. It\u2019s very eclectic with a mix of modern furniture including a dining table that I designed myself. The base of my home is monochromatic with a lot of colour burst especially through the modern art that I collect.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What advice would you give someone building or remodeling a villa or hotel?<\/h6>\n\n\n\n

To focus on the sensory experience for the people occupying the premises. How will they feel in the different areas of the property? How will the fluidity between the various parts of the dwelling feel? These are the things I would ask people to consider.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What are some of your favorite projects you have worked on?<\/h6>\n\n\n\n

My next project is always my favorite one. We have been blessed working with so many lovely people, some of them of which have become good friends<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A few projects that come to mind though are; an apartment in Saint-Germain in Paris, a villa for clients in Cannes, an entire office building in Monaco and a huge hotel project that we are currently working on in Reykjavik, Iceland.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
