- 10 rooms;

So too, the ten-bedroom villa, including gardens, lakes, swimming pools and a amphitheater for 500 seatsis the former summer home of French-Italian fashion designer Pierre Cardin, who died on December 29, 2020.
Pierre Cardin’s house was used by many celebrities
First of all, the house was used as a venue for celebrity parties, including
- James Bond 40th Anniversary Party;
- And it was featured in the 2016 film One More Each.
Cardin, who purchased the house in 1991, said he was attracted to real estate, adding:
“Round shapes have always inspired me”, and he compared it to a woman’s body, saying: “…everything is absolutely sensual”. Furthermore, their cellular forms have long reflected the external manifestations of the image of my creations. This is a museum where I exhibit the work of contemporary designers and artists.”
Furthermore, the Bubble Palace is a collection of bubble modules interspersed with terraces and a swimming pool, with each capsule having a large circular opening for sunlight.
Additionally, the unique house offers a panoramic lobby, reception area and 10 suites designed by contemporary artists including Patrice Bretaud, Jerome Tisserand, Daniel Hugh, François Chauvin and Gerard Cloarec.
When was the house built?
The Bubble Palace was built between 1975 and 1989 by Hungarian architect Antti Lovag. Thus, it is said that he wanted to design a house that resembled the prehistoric cave dwellings of humans.
Surprisingly, the house’s lack of corners, soft edges, and round spaces are trademarks of architect Antti Lovag, and no line on the building is straight.
In conversation with Monaco Trubine, Jean-Paul Hesse, the property’s current director of communications, said:
“Lovag wanted a house without edges, doors and roofs (…). His ideal home should once again be an element of freedom and allow man to live with nature.”
So, after the death of its original owner, Pierre Bernard, in 1991, Pierre Cardin purchased the house, using it as a stage for film premieres, weddings and photo shoots – usually for his own fashion line.
The Monaco Times also reported that renting the establishment cost 27,000 euros per day.
