Art consultancy Joséphine Fossey Office took inspiration from the rich history of Provançal village Gordes to create the artistic concept behind this new luxury house rental. Les Hauts de Gordes, in the Luberon – tucked away from the crowds and with interiors designed by Jérémie du Chaffaut – is an elegant showcase for curator and creative director Fossey’s selection of artworks.

Fossey was inspired by artists including Victor Vasarely, who shifted towards the abstract after experiencing light-filled Gordes, to curate a series of bespoke installations, among them artist Gaultier Rimbault-Joffard’s metal gate at the entrance, setting the tone. 

Charles Kalpakian's geometric mirror sculpture and Robin Vermeersch’s play on water lend tranquillity to the garden, while Atelier Felicita and Sonia Rinaldi rethink the table on the terrace.

Victor Marqué’s six bespoke sculptures inside are a sculptural foil for photography by Ilka Kramer and Yosigo, and the abstract paintings of Jesus Perea, nodding to a play on light throughout.
