The futuristic Paris apartment of the late fashion designer Karl Lagerfeld has been sold for €10m (£8.5m) at auction. The final price, €11m including notary fees, was roughly double the guide price, set at €5.3m. No details were given of the buyer. Located in a 17th-century building on Quai Voltaire, the three-room home has a view overlooking the Seine River and the Louvre museum. The apartment of 260 sq m has a 50 sq m dressing room and was completely refurbished by Lagerfeld “in a futuristic style with a concrete floor and sections of sandblasted glass”, according to the notary. German-born Lagerfeld, whose spectacular creations and shows for Chanel, Fendi and his own brand had a profound impact on the fashion world, lived there for about 10 years until his death aged 85 in February 2019. His office and library is now open to the public as a bookshop and event space in the Latin Quarter of Paris. A series about his life, Becoming Karl Lagerfeld, starring Daniel Brühl, is due to stream on Disney+ in June. In an interview with AFP earlier this month, Bruhl said he had tried to emulate Lagerfeld’s extreme aesthete tastes. “I tried my best … but the furniture, the posters, the photographs, the paintings, the books … to be such a perfectionist in aesthetics is something I absolutely share, but obviously I’m useless in comparison,” Brühl said.
