LOCALLY
At Anchor, each address is shaped alongside those who live the place every day, artisans, creatives, entrepreneurs, neighbors. People who know the city through practice, habits, and time. Their perspective influences the choices, the details, and the atmosphere of our spaces, not to stage them, but to remain faithful to what already exists. These local figures give direction, rhythm, and coherence to each destination. They are the ones who root every address in its local life.
Nos curateurs
Pauline Borgia
Pauline Borgia, a licensed architect trained at the École Nationale Supérieure d’Architecture Paris-Malaquais, founded her studio in Paris after several years of international experience. She approaches each project holistically, from structure to interior layout, with constant attention to proportions, use, and comfort.
Pauline Borgia sculpte les volumes avec précision : courbes douces, contrastes de matières, mobilier intégré, lumière révélée plutôt qu’ajoutée. Ses espaces sont fonctionnels et élégants, toujours traversés par des touches plus audacieuses, parfois inattendues, qui viennent créer l’émotion sans rompre l’équilibre.
Pour Anchor Paris Saint-Martin, elle s’inspire des hôtels ouvriers parisiens des années 1930, dont elle transpose la clarté et la rigueur dans un langage contemporain. Matériaux simples, organisation lisible, atmosphère chaleureuse : un cadre pensé pour la rencontre comme pour le retrait.
“Our project is inspired by the functional principles of Parisian working-class hotels in the 1930s - sets from the movie Hôtel du Nord by Marcel Carné. Their organization is reinterpreted around their clear distribution between common and private spaces, based on the use of simple, robust and elegant materials.”
Adélaïde Allard
Adélaïde Allard, originally trained as a clinical psychologist, quickly sensed that the spaces we are given to inhabit have a profound impact on the way we live and think. For her, care also begins with volumes, light, scents, and sounds.
La reconversion professionnelle qu’elle a ensuite opérée vers l’architecture intérieure l’a progressivement menée à développer un lien plus étroit avec la matière.
Elle a réalisé, pour le projet Anchor Paris Saint-Martin, une série de pièces en plâtre : des moulages d’objets et de textures dont elle souhaitait conserver l’empreinte. Ce travail est devenu un terrain d’exploration sensible, une manière de représenter les scènes de vie qui se déploient dans ses pensées et de traduire, dans la matière, l’atmosphère du lieu.
Claudia D'Oncieu
Claudia d’Oncieu is an Italian-French creative, designer, and interior decorator based in Rome. After working with renowned interior and architecture studios in Rome, Milan, and New York, she returned to her hometown in 2020 to co-found Paraná Studio with Clementina Calleri. Her practice is rooted in a close dialogue with local artisans, which also led to the development of a lighting collection. Whether designing private homes or spatial installations, her work focuses on creating distinctive spaces where ideas, found objects, and bespoke pieces come together to shape environments rich in character and atmosphere. Alongside interior design, she enjoys exploring different creative fields, working across interior styling for photoshoots, design, and creative direction for brands, always with a strong sensitivity to materials, details, and craftsmanship. She enjoys exploring her creativity in different ways, moving between interior styling for photoshoots, interior decoration, design, and creative direction for brands, always maintaining a strong attention to materials, details, and craftsmanship.
Marie Veidig
Marie Veidig has worked in the art world for over ten years, collaborating with architects, hoteliers, and brands to shape singular spaces. Trained in art history, with experience at auction houses in Paris and London and later at Hermès, she has developed a discerning eye, attentive to balance and to the subtle resonance between artworks and their surroundings.
Through a meticulous and demanding sourcing process, her studio researches and commissions unique pieces to compose cohesive environments, where furniture and objects exist in harmonious dialogue with the architecture.
For Anchor Cannes Centre, set within a Belle Époque residence just steps from the Croisette, she envisioned a curation inspired by the city’s artistic heritage and Mediterranean light, natural materials, sensitive works, restrained tones. An ensemble designed to restore the home’s elegance as a place of villégiature, poised between memory and contemporary softness.
