Decorator Jacques Grange
One of designer Yves Saint-Laurent's favorite places is the Moroccan
villa "Mabrouka" with a beautiful view of Gibraltar, located on a cliff and
towering over the medina of Tangier. It was here that he came when he
wanted to take a break from the hustle and bustle, meditate
and just listen to the birds singing...
The famous decorator Jacques Grange worked on the villa twice. This was the first
time that Yves Saint-Laurent and his partner Pierre Bergé were vacationing here after
buying a villa. The second time, when after the departure of the couturier, his faithful
friend Pierre Berger decided to reconstruct "Mabruk". By this time, the customer and
the decorator had been cooperating for about forty years and understood each other
perfectly. Jacques Grange stated that "they now just continued the conversation
they started a long time ago"...
Jacques Grange :
"Pierre Berger, unfortunately, did not have time to see the final transformation
of his wonderful house. I was simply shocked that he continued to decorate it
on the very last day. The "House of Fortune" really lives on in memories and
the best decor is a tribute to the memory of its owners"
