Karl Lagerfeld’s former studio and apartment in Paris is going up for auction. Whoever purchases the 2,800-square-foot-space, which is located in a 17th-century building on Quai Voltaire, will have a five-star view of both the Seine and the Louvre, the latter of which is only a six-minute walk from the front door.

The Quai Voltaire apartment auction will be held on March 26 by the Paris Chamber of Commerce Industry, at a starting price of €5.3 million or $5.7 million.

According to the notary, Lagerfeld—who rose to fame as the creative director of Chanel—lived at the Quai Voltaire apartment from 2006 until his death in 2019. The fashion designer spent two-and-a-half years renovating the space, replacing its antiquated interior with concrete and resin floors, concert-like lighting fixtures, and a revolving glass bookcase, which remains a part of the property to this day.

The result isn’t just modern, but futuristic. Profiled by writer John Colapinto for The New Yorker in 2007, shortly after renovations were complete, Lagerfeld said the juxtaposition between the building’s 200-year-old façade and the silicone glow of his own apartment was “like floating in your own spaceship over a very civilized past.”

Other features of the apartment include three giant windows framing the Seine river, a sleeping area separated from the main room by sandblasted panels on hinges, a bathroom with a Corian bathtub, a large dressing room (sans Lagerfeld’s own wardrobe, of course), and a spacious, stainless-steel kitchen. The property also comes with a modern security system, two cellars, and a garage.

When occupied, whimsical personal touches clashed with the Quai Voltaire apartment’s austere design. Touring the space in 2021, one Vogue journalist noted the silver door of the Whirlpool fridge was covered with brightly colored stickers of Pokémon, a popular Japanese media franchise for children. Apparently, Lagerfeld had told people “the last thing he wanted to be was a serious person.”

Many of Lagerfeld’s personal possessions were auctioned off by Sotheby’s between 2021 and 2022. In total, the auction house sold more than 1,000 items gathered from the fashion maven’s eight different residences, including his 19th-century house in Louveciennes commune near Versailles, his apartment in Millefiori Tower, Monaco, and his office at 15 Rue des Saint-Péres in Paris.

Aside from the aforementioned Whirlpool fridge, Sotheby’s also sold custom Coca Cola bottles, DVDs of Lagerfeld Confidential (2007), and suits designed by Hedi Slimane.
