Interiors in Stellar by Elie Sáab are influenced by the designer’s Mediterranean roots, enriched with Parisian sophistication. The floor-to-ceiling windows blur the boundaries between indoor and outdoor spaces, allowing natural light to be a key design element. The premium finishes are light oak flooring, travertine surfaces in white, and bronzed accents, which echo ELIE SAAB’s distinct sensibility. Furniture and decor are exclusively from the ELIE SAAB Maison Collection, a collaboration of Elie Saab with renowned designer Carlo Colombo. The pieces were crafted in Italy according to the highest standards.
