Studio KO : A Few Interiors

Founded in 2000 and based in Paris and Marrakesh, Studio KO is one of the most sought-after names in contemporary architecture and interior design. The work of Karl Fournier and Olivier Marty has attracted a circle of exceptional clients, ranging from André Balazs, for his first European property in London, to Pierre Bergé, who entrusted them with the iconic Yves Saint Laurent museum in Marrakech, Morocco. Today, Studio KO is recognised worldwide for its contemporary vernacular style, which is both radical and deeply rooted.

This book presents nine projects, including the renovation of a traditional Moroccan house in Marrakech, villas on the French Mediterranean coast in Cassis and Corsica, the private apartment of Karl Fournier and Olivier Marty in Paris, the Flamingo Estate in Los Angeles, and the famous Chiltern Firehouse. François Halard’s atmospheric and bohemian photographs create a poetic dialogue with Studio KO’s interiors. The result is an intimate volume that reveals the very essence of their approach: sophisticated spaces combining minimalist, graphic architecture with local cultural elements, brimming with subtle references to design tradition and a deep respect for the spirit of the places in which they work.
