When Meryl Hadida Shabani moved to Los Angeles from Paris four years ago, she wondered how to import a unique extension of L’Eclaireur, the celebrated Paris retail brand her parents founded in 1980. In West Hollywood, “we call it a ‘residence,’ in that there are no limits to this space,” Hadida Shabani said of the business’ first U.S. presence, which formally opened to the public Friday. She began the two-year-long process of transforming the building on Robertson Boulevard, recognizable by its pared-down Beaux-Arts-style touches. “We give ourselves the freedom to present any interesting objects that we find.” L’Eclaireur is at 450 N. Robertson Blvd., West Hollywood. leclaireur.comhome@latimes.comFollow our design and gardening boards on PinterestALSO:More Southern California home toursInspired by the beach and urban life, a jewelry designer settles in VeniceDesigners give Lloyd Wright's Dorland house in Altadena a colorful, personal spin
