EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning photograph captures the grandeur and elegance of the Entrance Hall in the French Institute located in South Kensington, London. Designed by architects M. Patrice Bonnet and Mr A J Thomas, the building was completed in 1939 and is a testament to the Art Deco style that was popular during that era. The focal point of the hall is the magnificent staircase, with its sweeping curves and intricate wrought-iron balustrades. The steps lead up to the first floor, where the main auditorium and other event spaces are located. The staircase is flanked by large windows that allow natural light to flood the space, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere. The interior surfaces of the hall have been treated with a variety of materials to enhance their beauty and durability. The walls and ceiling are adorned with Stic B Flat Paint, which provides a smooth and even finish. The lower portion of the walls is covered in stone, adding a sense of grandeur and sophistication. Plastic and Acou-Stic B have also been used to cover certain areas, providing both functional and aesthetic benefits. The entrance hall is further enhanced by the presence of a sculpture, which adds an artistic touch to the space. The French Institute, with its beautiful architecture and elegant design, is a cultural gem in the heart of South Kensington and continues to attract visitors from all over the world.
