The flagship store at 69 Rue des Saints-Pères is conceived as a sensory space dedicated to the experience of the art de la table. Its architectural layout prioritises material clarity, spatial rhythm, and sensory intention, bringing form, function, and feeling into balance. 

The interior is defined by red brick counters and walls, stacked without mortar. Each brick is aligned uniformly, referencing the interiors of porcelain kiln structures where matter is shaped by heat, repetition, and time. This foundational gesture sets the tone for the space: calm, grounded, and precise.

Overhead, a full-ceiling lightbox creates a consistent warm brightness, mimicking natural daylight. Across from this, a raw, exposed wall suggests the geological cuts of porcelain quarries, a nod to the material’s origin. At the back of the space, a five-metre-long poured concrete counter anchors the open workspace, making visible the processes behind the pieces on display.

Three experiential zones define the visitor journey:

• An extra virgin olive oil bar, featuring some of the rarest terroirs in the world.
• A third-generation coffee bar, serving custom blends.
• A modular activation area, used for chef residencies, tastings, and artist collaborations.

Each architectural choice reflects one of the brand’s three collections:

• Essentials are housed in clean, repeating structures.
• Objects of Transcendence are placed in contemplative alcoves.
• Opulent pieces are set as standalone focal points, often suspended.

The materials are left as close to their raw state as possible. Touch, sound, and light are considered part of the experience. The space functions less as a store and more as an expert-led environment for sensory engagement.
