THE SENEGALESE HERITAGE - ELLE DECORATION
Translation of the article :
The interior designer merges her French and Senegalese influences in a display that also includes historical tapestries. Until the age of 20, interior designer Sarah Chirazi (center) grew up in Senegal. This childhood shaped her style and her approach to materials. Named “Dakar,” her first furniture collection is entirely made by Senegalese artisans and features themes related to the local fauna and flora. When she met Amélie-Margot Chevalier and Charles-Wesley Hourdé from the Chevalier Parsua gallery (pictured) to design a rug, she discovered that their collection was full of tapestries produced at the National Manufacture of Thiès in Senegal in the 1970s. This revelation sparked the idea to showcase these historical works alongside her “Dakar” collection and pieces from her upcoming collection, named “Paris,” dedicated to our capital.
