Dangerous Liaisons: All about the sets of the new series

What palette did you work with to give the project a homogeneous visual touch?

“I built the entire mansion of the Marquise de Merteuil inside an old palace, which gave me the freedom to choose the color palette and adapt the design of the furniture that he wanted. Instead, for the other mansions we adapted to the color scheme already present and based on it we furnished the houses with curtains, rugs, furniture and paintings that would complement it and at the same time reflect the personality of the people who lived there. Then we work with the wardrobe department to channel that same energy.”

How did you find a common thread between the deepest contrasts?
