WHY I LOVE LONDON

For chef Eric Chavot, the city he now calls home has it all – from tea at The Wolseley to the Natural History Museum at night

BY AMY BROOMFIELD ILLUSTRATOR NATALIE BOO MOSQUERA

After arriving in the UK, aged 18, to begin his culinary career, Eric Chavot found work in a host of illustrious restaurants including Le Manoir Aux Quat’Saisons under Raymond Blanc, Harvey’s alongside Marco Pierre White and La Tante Claire with Pierre Koffmann. But it was during his 10-year stint at the helm

of The Capital Hotel’s restaurant in Knightsbridge that Chavot’s talent really shone. His faultless and intelligent cooking earned two Michelin stars – with many esteemed critics claiming it should have been three. In 2009, Chavot famously “quit” the London culinary scene, heading to the USA where he shared his insights in a consultant chef role, but in 2013 he was back, opening the critically acclaimed Brasserie Chavot in Mayfair. Here, he tells Harrods Home & Property Magazine what he loves most about living and working in the capital.

Where is home for you?

I’ve been here since 1986. Though there’s a French flag in my passport, I’d say I’m more London than anything else. I regularly go to France on holiday, but I’m always happy to land back at Gatwick – it means I’m home.

What are the best things about this city?

The best time to enjoy London is either first thing in the morning or last thing at night. It’s such a beautiful city, but there are too many people if you try and go out in the afternoon – forget it, it’s too crowded. I drive to work at 6am when it’s quiet, and I love it. X

Q&A

12

The Serpentine Lido, Hyde Park

What do you love about working centrally?

I can get anywhere from where I am. When I worked on Charlotte Street, I could walk to Regent’s Park for a little break. When I was at The Capital Hotel in Knightsbridge and Grosvenor House in Mayfair, I could run around the Serpentine in Hyde Park. Now I’m in Piccadilly, I have everything on my doorstep.

The Wolseley

Where is the best place to enjoy a glass of Champagne?

I really love the buzz of The Wolseley – and it also does an excellent afternoon tea.

Mandarin Oriental

Mandarin Oriental

What’s your favourite hotel in London?

I love the Mandarin Oriental because you can’t get that view of Hyde Park from anywhere else. It has such history as well. Charles de Gaulle used to spend all his time there.

Hyde Park

Which building do you like the most?

When I first arrived I was pretty broke so I would walk everywhere.

I used to go through Hyde Park to the French consulate, and when I got there, the building opposite was the Natural History Museum. It was so beautiful and it was free to go inside. I used to think that was crazy. It’s especially magical at night-time. Inside, I can almost imagine I’m in a scene from Night at the Museum.

Borough Market

What’s your favourite market?

Borough Market near London Bridge has most things I want. It’s not just for tourists, but for trade as well. I also love Portobello Market – if you know what you’re looking for, you’ll definitely get it there.

Which park do you like the most?

It has to be Hyde Park. It took me two months to walk on the grass there, because in France you’re not allowed to. I used to see people doing it and think they would be told off, so when I first did it, it was the most amazing thing I could do at the time – I was only 18 years old.

Nonsuch Park

Bistrot Bruno Loubet

What’s your favourite restaurant?

Bistrot Bruno Loubet at The Zetter Hotel is lovely. I love the work of other French chefs. When I first arrived there were hardly any here apart from Raymond Blanc and Pierre Koffmann… now they’re everywhere!

Where do you go to escape?

My garden. There’s a reason why the English are famous for their gardens. It’s amazing: it has cherry trees, plum trees, rhubarb – though I can’t really take much credit for it as it was all there when I moved in.

And opposite my house is Epsom’s Nonsuch Park. I have a park right opposite my house – wow!

Will you stay in London forever?

Yes, but don’t tell my wife. HMN

BRANCHING OUT COLLECTOR’S ITEM The multifaceted functions of today’s devices – mobile phones, tablets, music players, laptops, digital radio and cloud-based systems – can make syncing and updating a laborious task. Bang & Olufsen’s BeoSound Essence centralises your music library, allowing you to request songs from any device or service. The minimalist design (blink and you’ll miss the small disc on the wall) reflects the device’s user-friendliness: a single touch changes the volume, stops or skips playlists, and streams music from another device or service. Small and elegant, it’s a long way from stacked CDs. £695. Available from Bang & Olufsen, Third Floor

Nature has provided inspiration to designers and artists for centuries, but Portuguese furniture brand Ginger & Jagger has taken natural motifs one step further, using real branches and foliage as moulds. Expertly trained craftsmen create table legs in the shape of rose branches, and mirrors decorated with autumnal leaves, in a glamorous collection of ultra-feminine furniture and home accessories.

INDEPENDENT INSPIRATION

Not content with being the restaurateurs behind two of east London’s coolest hangouts, Les Trois Garçons have launched their own homeware collection. The trio – Hassan Abdullah, Stefan Karlson and Michel Lasserre – began working together in the mid-1990s, when they founded an antiques business. They opened Les Trois Garçons restaurant in 2000, followed by the LoungeLover cocktail bar in 2003. The new furniture range adds another string to their bow. “We found there was a gap in modern design; everything was either a pastiche or super-contemporary,” explains Abdullah.

“We wanted to create a collection that would merge periods – whether modern or classical – to fit any type of space.” The threesome sought the skills of Portuguese manufacturer De Pau to help them achieve their goal. The result is an eclectic mix of furniture that references Art Nouveau and Art Deco via a combination of bronze, marble, velvet and oak. A bespoke range is also available.

Alberto Alessi is a huge promoter of upand-coming talent. Since taking the helm of the family business, he has never employed in-house designers, preferring instead to collaborate with hand-picked independent creatives. Over the years, Alessi has teamed up with more than 500 artists and designers, resulting in more than 85 quirky and innovative product patents. The new Joy range is the work of architect Claudia Raimondo, whose centrepiece bowls (above) are crafted from a single sheet of steel. A sophisticated moulding technique helps create a multifaceted interior that captures and deflects light and reflections; finishes include 24kt gold plating, and black or white resin. From £49.

IT’S A KIND OF MAGIC Perfumer Serge Lutens’ Moroccan masterpiece has been 36 years in the making. The result is an abode that’s both mysterious and meditative BY JAN MASTERS

It takes a while for your eyes to adjust from the glare of the Marrakech sun to the darkness of the cavernous hall that greets you as you pass through the immense, creaking doors. Instantly, the air becomes skin-chillingly cool. The cacophonous dust-scramble of cars, bikes and donkey carts falls away. Peace. In fact, there’s something almost devotional about the atmosphere, as if what’s behind the rather plain, bleached-stone exterior is a shrine to Morocco’s rich heritage. Or a love letter to beauty. And in some ways, that’s exactly what it is.

This is perfumer Serge Lutens’ house. In the heart of the medina, it has taken him 36 years to create. Built on the site of numerous old dwellings, large and small, it’s easy to describe it as a grand palace, yet it owes much of its shape and feel to a madrassa (a place of education). Shadowy rooms for contemplation lead out to decorative, airy courtyards, open to the sun and rain. Every space, both inside and out, is a study in symmetry.

To many fragrance aficionados, Lutens, 72, inspires veneration. His scents aren’t designed to be crowd-pleasers but creations born of emotions, some painful. The new L’Orpheline, for example, with incense and woods, tells of his early separation from his mother (when he was young, he had to live with another family, as he was born out of his mother’s adulterous relationship – in those days a punishable offence). Ever since, he has imagined a female persona as the muse for fragrances… and, indeed, for this house.

After arriving in Marrakech in 1968, Lutens never really left, inspired by its exoticism. To say his house exudes mystery is an understatement. Movement from room to room requires journeying down dimly lit corridors – for a first-time visitor (or even, possibly, a regular visitor) there is no alternative but to follow one of Lutens’ attendants, dressed in billowing white robes and a red fez. Wander alone and, inevitably, you will be lost in the labyrinth.

What’s so magical about this maze, however, is that it never leads to a dead end, only to distracting surprises and grand spaces, each a celebration of fine craftsmanship.

Floors are carpeted with miniature mosaics, resplendent in emeralds, cobalts and oranges. Balconies “Everywhere, the are set with hundreds of lanterns. And cedarceilings and stonework friezes are carved ordinary is lifted to wood with calligraphy and emblems of nature. Lutens the extraordinary and says that during construction, he would often the extraordinary to have 500 craftsmen working on the house any one time. the sublime” at There’s no denying that the aura is almost sacred. So rarefied is it, Lutens himself doesn’t live here.

Astonishing but true. “I’ve never lived here. I’ve never slept here. I’ve never bathed here,” he states, almost matter of factly. He simply pays homage to the house every day THIS PAGE, FROM TOP Lutens’ courtyard in and then returns every night to a tiny studio outside Marrakech; Serge town, where he leads an almost monastic existence.

“I have some books, but I have few belongings.”

There is, however, plenty that he enjoys during his daily sojourns. Sitting rooms with drape-worthy day beds, a library, an office with a desk and chairs of exquisite marquetry, and Orientalist paintings adorning the walls.

What does he do? He reads poetry. He writes. Concocts perfumes. And revels in the intense richness of colours, textures and Moorish motifs that he so adores.

He also finds it meditative to sit in the gardens with their babbling fountains, surprised, perhaps, by an occasional burst of doves from the bougainvillea as it snakes its way around a cypress, a tree that once had pride of place in one of the original riads and the only thing Lutens has kept.

What’s so magical about his grand house is not just the big-ticket statements, but all the romantic touches: red velvet against cool stone; Moroccan lamps casting kaleidoscopic patterns on walls; and the fact that nothing is considered so mundane that it cannot be decorated exquisitely – from the pierced drain covers designed by Lutens himself to the Coca-Cola served at lunch in diminutive cranberry glass decanters. Everywhere, the ordinary is lifted to the extraordinary and the extraordinary to the sublime.

In practical terms, there’s no denying this house is a legacy for the Moroccan people and the country he has lived in for so long. In psychological terms, however, it is his heartbeat.

“The house is not done yet,” he states categorically. “If it stops, then I stop. It’s an ongoing story.” HMN
