Yves Gastou, known as the <i>Antiquaire du Futur</i>, was undoubtedly one of the greatest decorative art dealers in 20th-century France. The interiors of his Paris flat and Biarritz residence showcase his unique blend of 1940s French furniture with contemporary creations by artists like Poillerat, Kuramata, and Sottsass. From Moreux to Dubreuil, Chale to Arbus, Gastou's spaces reflect over fifty years of passionate collecting, spanning various styles and periods.
