To understand Paysage, you must understand Gigi Sireyjol-Hors- ley, her owner and lead interior designer. Gigi is like no other,  she brings an international, old-world charm and culture that can only be earned in experience and cultivated by seeing the world through the unfiltered lens of possibilité. For Gigi and her magnificent team at Paysage, interior design is the eclectically tasteful unique expression of the soul of the transformed space’s owner.

Born in one of the world’s most interesting and exciting cities and the embodiment of the original Byzantine bazaar, Casablanca, Morocco, Gigi returned to the South of France in her early adolescence. Her mother, an avid connoisseur of beautiful people, places and things taught Gigi a reverence for beauty, a reverence she lends her clientele every day.

On weekend soirees with her mother to cosmopolitan art and antique venues, Gigi learned what her mother’s credo, “touch with your eyes,” although it sounds more poignant in French, “touché avectes yeux,” meant. On those treasured weekends, Gigi’s mother was instructing her young daughter to look with appreciation, with awe; to imagine where something had been, where it might go; to, within its texture, shape or patina, discover and learn its history, its meaning and its intrinsic value. These quests for hidden treasures with her mother are the foundation of Gigi’s discerning eye fordesign.

Her mother taught Gigi the origin of elegance, the connectivity of harmonious association. She taught her all things where linked: fashion, art de la table, exquisite tastes and the energy of living space. Gigi understands and practices delivering that harmonious association to every Paysage client, creating the whole of essence that surpasses the sum of its parts. Gigi is compelled to design and create, an honored gift of love and passion bestowed upon her by her mother.

Although her mother began Gigi on the journey of her life’s work, Gigi’s embracing her life experiences have honed each lesson. Today, she seamlessly discovers what her client values and treasures; then, manifest the perfect complements to infuse within their space. Building upon a tapestry of timeless French elegance using linens, silks, wood, stone, leather or metal, Gigi enjoys bringing an unexpected boldness to an interior. She developed a signature to her interior design by introducing something custom-designed, locally sourced and infinitely artisan to each project. She often fuses such a piece, a bold newness, with antique pieces to achieve her goal of eclectic aesthetic wholeness using the sum of the parts of her design to transcend any particular period and accentuate her client’s uniqueness.
