Founded in 1913 by Mario Prada, the brand gained international recognition in the fashion world with the arrival of his granddaughter, Miuccia Prada, in the late 1970s. In 1988, she created her first ready-to-wear line for women, and five years later, the Miu Miu line (a diminutive of Miuccia), which was less expensive and more rebellious. Miuccia Prada is a fashion visionary, even if the term is often overused; she helped shape the style of the late 1990s, with its military influences and oversized clothing. Since 2020, she has worked alongside Raf Simons, and each of their collections has become a true artistic dialogue around elegance and femininity.
He is the icon of British dandyism. His style is recognizable by the colors and stripes he uses for his clothes, designed in Nottingham and London and produced in England and Italy. It is the combination of tradition and originality, this world that is both British and unconventional, that has made Paul Smith successful for almost 50 years.

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.

Since almost 100 years, Poltrona Frau has been working with the greatest names in design : Pierluigi Cerri, Achille Castiglioni, Michele de Lucchi, Jean-Marie Massaud, Andrée Putman or Cini Boeri… Considered as the “Hermès of Italian furniture”, the quality of production has always been a priority for the company, following the example of its patented leather, Pelle Frau, gotten after twenty one different stages of production and available in more than ninety shades of color.

Ria is Filipina and Yiouri is Cypriot, one studied design and the other architecture. They met in London in the 1980s where they both worked for the designer John Stefanidis. Few years later they decided to achieve (to fulfil) their dream by creating their first collection of furniture and by showing it in Paris. Success was instantaneous : the Crillon placed an order for the apartments of this luxury hotel, Neiman Marcus and Barney’s show them in New York City. They settled in the Rue du Bac and since then never stopped creating furniture very inspired by Art Deco for which they have no limits concerning the choice of materials that they use, like at that time : rare woods, crocodile, python, cobra or ostrich skin, but also horn or mothers-of-pearls.
Le Montalembert is the first 5-star hotel on the Left Bank. It dates from the 1920s and has kept its look and chic. Recently redecorated, it has kept this modern and quiet luxury, the pure lines, the dark woods and the muted hues. Here reigns good taste in its intimate version.

An experience to begin in the very pretty pool, equipped with massaging hydrojets and counter-current swimming, before continuing in the hammam. for a steam bath. The body and facial treatments then provided in the two spa cabins are an alliance between Asian tradition and the cosmetic expertise of French Physiomer products.
A very complete treatment menu, including a tailor-made Signature treatment and lymphatic drainage of the Renata França Method, practiced here by Estelle Segura.
