The village of Saint-Etienne-la-Thillaye is a beauty spot in the Basse-Normandie region, in north-west France. It is famous for its lush countryside, serenity and wonderful views, but the real reason it attracts high-profile residents (Chanel’s owners the Wertheimer brothers have an estate there) is the horses. The rich grass in the area is perfect for breeding race horses, and It is peppered with stud farms and stables. It is this landscape that attracted Cecilia Bonstrom, the Swedish born, Paris-based, 43-year-old creative director of  Zadig&Voltaire , in her search for a house in the French countryside to provide an idyllic weekend getaway.
圣埃蒂安拉蒂莱埃镇坐落于法国西北部，是诺曼底地区的一个风景区。以其大面积被植被覆盖的乡村，宁静美好的风景而闻名。但是该镇真正吸引名人居住（香奈儿的所有者魏泰玛兄弟在此拥有房产）的原因是它的马厩。丰富的草资源使该地成为饲养赛马的绝佳场所，育马场与马厩随处可见。正是此景，吸引了43岁的法国时尚品牌 查第格与伏尔泰①（ Zadig&Voltaire）创意总监塞西莉亚-邦斯姆（Cecilia Bonstrom）。塞西莉亚出生在瑞典，现在巴黎发展，她在寻找一个田园诗般的周末度假场所。


Transforming an abandoned stud farm into a home comes with its own challenges, but Bonstrom – an ambitious, determined and creative mother of three – was more than up to the job. After all, this is a woman who renounced a successful modelling career at 33 to work at Zadig & Voltaire(which she had always admired) as a junior assistant in 2003, and rose to become creative director just three years later. ‘Zadig& Voltaire only had two shops, both in Paris,when I first fell in love with its unique,modern aesthetic at the end of the Nineties,’says Bonstrom. ‘It already had a following of cool French actresses such as Béatrice Dalle and Marion Cotillard, but it was still quite niche. I just felt it was tapping into some-thing new, something I wanted to be part of.’
要将一个废弃的育马场改造成居住场所会面临重重挑战，但邦斯姆——一个野心、决心与创造力并存的三子之母——完全能够胜任这份工作。在2003年时，33岁邦斯姆放弃了她成功的模特生涯前往查第格与伏尔泰（她一直向往）当初级助理，而且仅仅过了三年，她就成为了该品牌的创意总监。“当我在九十年代末第一次见到查第格与伏尔泰时，我就爱上了它特立独行的现代审美观，它当时只在巴黎有两家店面，”邦斯姆说。“当时已经有一些出色的法国女演员如贝阿特丽斯•达勒和玛丽昂•歌迪亚开始追随它，但它仍然是相当小众。我觉得它当时正在吸取着一些新的事物，而我想参与其中。”

   


At the time, says Bonstrom, ‘fashion was preoccupied with the drama of Jean Paul Gaultier or the complex artistry of Issey Miyake, but Zadig was about a sort of effortlessness which seemed wonderful to me. It had this rock ’n’ roll attitude and was all a bit distressed, and that felt natural and cool.’ The architecture of the shops was appealing because it channelled the simplicity and practicality of Scandinavian architecture,which she grew up with. Today, Zadig& Voltaire has 200 stores worldwide. ‘It has a clearly defined DNA and understands what women want from their clothes,’ she says.


当时，邦斯姆说：“时尚总是专注于让•保罗•高提耶的戏剧性亦或是三宅一生的复杂艺术性,但伏尔泰却是一种游刃有余,这非常合我胃口。它有着摇滚的年轻态度又带着些仿古情调,这让我觉得自然又冷酷。“商店的装修风格非常有吸引力，它富含了北欧建筑的简单性和实用性,她从小就在这样的建筑中长大。今天, ”查第格与伏尔泰“在全球拥有200家门店。“它有明确的一贯风格而且能从女人们衣着上读懂女人的心”她说。
As Bonstrom travels a great deal for work and is based in Paris, she and her family – her husband and three sons, Victor, 13; Nils,11; and two-year-old Emil– wanted somewhere to escape to. When they came upon the stable buildings and the old manoir, which had been abandoned for seven years, they knew they had discovered something magical and challenging.


邦斯姆工作经常出差，公司总部在巴黎，她跟她的家人——她的丈夫还有三个儿子，13岁的维克多；11岁的尼尔；还有2岁的艾米——想要找个地方避世。当他们遇上了这座被遗弃7年的乡间别墅时，他们知道自己找到了奇妙的而又富有挑战性的事物。


  


‘It was in a horrible state when we first found it,’ says Bonstrom. ‘We forced ourselves to live in it as it was, so that we could make the right decisions about which horse boxes to keep and what to destroy. We demolished the main part of the training stables but kept the brick, and used it to join up with the original house. So you have a typical Normandy-style house connected to a very modern space.’
“一开始我们发现这座房子的时候房子情况很糟，”邦斯姆说。“事实上我们是强迫自己住在这房子里，这样才能正确的决定那些马槽留着那些丢掉。我们拆掉马厩主体，只留着砖头，在这些砖头基础上建房子。你可以看到典型的诺曼底风格的建筑跟现代风格相结合。


The two levels were knocked down to make one huge level with seven-metre-high ceilings in the TV-room and a beautiful indoor pool. Bonstrom is particularly proud of the 360-degree view she has created for the house: on one side is a perfect English country garden and on the other is a wild meadow, so that you are surrounded by nature at all times.
电视房与一个美丽的室内游泳池融在一起，这个房间有7米高，是将原来的两层拆掉，合并成很高的一层。特别令邦斯姆骄傲的是她为这个房创造的一个360度全景：一边是完美的英国乡村花园，而另一边是野生牧场，身处其中仿若一直被大自然围绕。





The children’s rooms are simple and charming. Bonstrom’s 14-year-old stepdaughter Manon often stays, and her room acts as a den for the entire family. They built the kitchen from scratch and kept the interiors simple and uncluttered with oversize Christian Liaigre sofas in the salon, Charlotte Perriand chairs in the kitchen, oak floorboards throughout and khaki or beige paint on the walls and ceilings. ‘It’s the space that creates this house, not the decoration,’ says Bonstrom.
儿童房简约而美好。邦斯姆的14岁继女玛侬会经常待着这里，她的房间是所有家里人的书房。他们从头开始建了一个厨房。整个室内设计简单而整洁。客厅有一个超大的克瑞斯特 里艾格瑞②设计的沙发， 厨房放了夏洛特皮尔瑞德③椅子，室内全部铺了橡木地板，墙壁跟天花板粉刷成米色或者卡其色。“这座房子的特色在于空间而不是装潢。”邦斯姆如是说。


Fussy interiors are not Bonstrom’s thing,but she and her husband are avid collectors of modern art, and there are extraordinary pieces dotted about. They own works by Rudolph Stingel, Jean-Michel Basquiat and Damien Hirst, and the generous heights and interesting spaces perfectly house their impressive collection.
邦斯姆并不喜欢将室内布置的太过繁琐，但她与她丈夫都是现代艺术的狂热收藏者，室内都被一些杰出的艺术品点缀着。这些作品是鲁道夫•施廷格尔，让 - 米歇尔•巴斯奎特和达米恩•赫斯特等大师所做，这足够的高度和引人入胜的空间，真是收藏他们那些令人印象深刻的藏品的绝佳场所。


One of the highlights is a remarkable sculpture by the Austrian artist Franz West that sits, irreverently, by the pool: a four-metre-long pink snake-like creature made of resin, steel and glass fibre. Just like the decisions that inform her Zadig & Voltaire designs, Bonstrom’s choices for her homes are always unique,ambitious and cool.
其中非常值得一提的是一个有奥地利艺术家弗朗兹 韦斯特打造的艺术品，它被突兀的放在游泳池旁边：这个艺术品大概有四米长，是由树脂、钢筋和草纤维制作，外观粉红色，形状与蛇类似。如同邦斯姆为查第格与伏尔泰设计所做的决策一样，她对自己家的选择也是独特、野心与冷静三者并存的。
