PRIVATE APARTMENT OF ALEXANDRE DE BETAK – SILVER MIRROR CEILING

A silver mirrored stretch ceiling by Like Mirror in Alexandre de Betak’s Paris apartments

Scenographer and designer Alexandre de Betak, known for his immersive and visionary approach, has transformed his Parisian pied-à-terre into a veritable mirror box. Located in an 18th-century mansion on the Left Bank, this fascinating space plays with reflections and textures to create an illusion of infinity. Among the most remarkable elements of this architectural metamorphosis is the silver mirrored stretch ceiling, designed and installed by Like Mirror, which redefines the space’s volume and intensifies the light.

A radical and immersive transformation

When Alexandre de Betak acquired this apartment in 2022, he faced a major constraint: low ceilings of only 2.5 meters. To overcome this structural limitation and visually open up the space, he devised a bold solution: covering the ceilings and part of the walls with mirrors, thus multiplying the perspectives.

The silver stretch mirrored ceiling by Like Mirror is the obvious choice. Thanks to its perfectly smooth surface and aluminum frame tension technology, it enlarges the space without adding weight, creating a sense of floating and continuity between the architectural elements.

The mirror effect: between illusion and total design

This mirrored ceiling not only opens up the space, but also interacts with the entire decor designed by Alexandre de Betak. It reflects and magnifies:

• The noble materials, notably the reclaimed Burgundy stone floor, which adopts a cabochon pattern for a revisited classic touch.
• The vibrant shapes and colors, such as the Andrée Putman armchairs in a vibrant lipstick red, the Yves Klein blue sculpture that sits in the center of the living room, or the helmet of the red Oh-Ranger from the series Chōriki Sentai Ohranger.
• The play of light, skillfully orchestrated by 25 1970s clip-on lamps, reinforces the immersive atmosphere of the space.

Far from being a simple decorative element, the silver stretch mirror ceiling becomes a central player in the sensory experience offered by this apartment, where each reflection tells a story and extends the space into a dreamlike and futuristic dimension.

Mirror technology adapted to exceptional projects

The choice of the Like Mirror silver stretch mirror is based on several technical and aesthetic advantages:

• Incomparable lightness, ideal for ceiling installation without structural constraints.
• Perfect reflection, offering impeccable visual quality without distortion.
• A space-expanding effect, playing on perspective and light.
• A custom installation, with the option of integrating precise cutouts for lighting and technical equipment.

This innovative solution allows Alexandre de Betak to fully exploit his holistic approach to design, where each element is designed in overall harmony.

An avant-garde vision that defies trends

With this apartment, resembling an immersive scenography, Alexandre de Betak continues to push the boundaries of interior design. Inspired by Art Deco, Bauhaus, and futurist aesthetics, he creates a space in his own image: bold, intuitive, and free from any fleeting trends.

“Constraints are a blessing”, he confides, and it is precisely by circumventing the constraints of low ceilings with the silver stretch mirror ceiling that he creates a space where reflection becomes a narrative element in its own right.

Like Mirror, partner of visionary spaces

By integrating itself into this unique project, Like Mirror proves once again that reflective surfaces are not just decorative elements, but tools for architectural transformation.
