Angelina, rue de Rivoli’s iconic pastry shop has finally crossed the Seine to open a new store rue du Bac, between the rue de Varennes and the rue de Babylone. Now we can enjoy the signature Mont Blanc and Saint Honoré although we would have travelled the world to get them anyway.
Hugues Pouget, former Chef pastry cook at Guy Savoy did not want to sell his cakes the same way as in a simple cake shop. His concept is that around three permanent flavors, chocolate, vanilla and caramel, he adds to his creations seasonal products as combawa, litchi, pineapple, followed in the summertime by strawberry, cherry, peach, apricot, cherry plum or fig from Solliès. So here one will find caramel or exotic fruits mille feuilles, and blood orange cream in his éclair.
Carpets in limited or continuous editions with patterns that draw their inspiration from the decorative tradition of wallpaper, fabric, embroidery, architecture and French gardens : it is pretty original ! But what makes all the difference at Casa Lopez is the style department which, from archives or a wish, offers to create a drawing which corresponds to our desires, then to chose with us the material or materials of our carpet : wool, cotton, silk, hessian, string or sisal, that we will even be able to mix to create some effects. Victoria Magniant, the young artistic director, will be there to accompany you along this fascinating adventure.
Settled in an industrial building of the Rue de Babylone, this fervent enthusiast of eco-design, who is both designer and interior architect, creates a line of furniture and lamps pretty typical, recognizable at first glance and that always denotes his taste for wood and natural materials.
Born in the late 80s, En Attendant les Barbares is known for being the publisher of the first creations of Elisabeth Garouste and Mattia Bonetti. His approach has always been to try to break down the boundaries between design and decorative art, for example by emphasizing the work of craftsmen. Over time, many designers from different generations and backgrounds have joined the gallery, bringing their touch to the eclecticism that makes its identity, among them Christian Ghion, Arik Lévy, Mark Brazier-Jones, André Dubreuil or Matt Sindall.
In the grandiose setting of the former swimming-pool of the Lutetia Hotel, three structures made of wood have been put up. A sort of futurist and mobile cabins now come to modify the rigor of the space by conveying a convivial touch.
Those structures house thematic and temporary spaces in which the “House Art” takes up a lot of room, particularly with the new editions of Jean-Michel Franck’s furniture.
A singular universe where symbolism still plays a major role. Snakes, feathers, lace, insects, Ginkgo leaves or even the famous braided Do Brasil have become timeless classics.
At the Grande Epicerie, fondness for food becomes an art and shopping a travel. Everything is chosen with extreme care : fruits, vegetables, spices, teas, cheeses, wines, but also authentic or extravagant products, often rare, which come from the whole world.
