Janine Abraham & Dirk Jan Rol's home upstairs living room, Meudon, France, 1968-1970
For the last weeks of August, we look back on the design and style of French summer living of the 1960s and 70s.
In an urban setting, at the countryside, or by the sea—wherever you may be— the summer brings brilliant colors and nature’s vibrancy.
