When you’re tapped by the president of France to put your mark on the Élysée Palace, your profile is bound to skyrocket. But Stanislas is already a star, albeit a low-key one with a humane viewpoint: “Design is a vision that brings together senses, function, and aesthetic.” Influenced by Renzo Piano, Ludwig Mies van der Rohe, and Donald Judd, her warm, elegantly modernist works include Ibiza’s Mikasa hotel, a house in Comporta, Portugal, an on-the-boards Cartier flagship in Monaco, and furniture for Galerie BSL and The Invisible Collection. “There is a fine line between interior design, architecture, and design. A balance is to be found between these three disciplines. This makes me want to draw everything,” she explains. “I want to create a holistic and authentic emotion.” ► Paris; isabelle-stanislaom
