Les Bordes Cabins

Dodds & Shute were thrilled to recently work one of the most prestigious golf clubs in the world, Les Bordes in France’s famed Loire Valley region, nestled within the ancient Sologne Forest. Located in the UNESCO World Heritage region renowned for historic chateaux, medieval towns, food & wines and unspoiled landscapes. The estate offers understated luxury, leisure and sport in a unique natural setting blessed with sweeping lakes and wildlife. A project in collaboration with Michaelis Boyd saw D&S appointed to supply furniture and lighting to the completely redesigned clubhouse, restaurant and luxury lake side cabins. The intention was to create a sense of home from home. An environment to meet, socialise and network, but also somewhere guests feel comfortable to unwind and recuperate for 7-10 days at a time. Michaelis Boyd strove to find the right balance with retaining as many original features as possible, weathered stonework and clay roof tiles, dramatic high ceilings, exposed beam, whilst injecting a more modern personality. The interiors are comfortable and features such as deep teal walls complement luxurious materials such as marble and walnut finishes complement grand crittall external doors an eclectic mix of antique accessories, curated artwork and furniture upholstered in sumptuous velvets and leathers.
