To build a boutique inside a department store is always a tiring process, but we are very happy with the result, inspired by the architecture of the Galerie Lafayette Haussmann and its glass roof.
Parisian, with a (rounded) twist.

Located by the Meguro River in Nakameguro, the Tokyo outpost of our Words Sounds Colors & Shapes store contrasts a khaki-green exterior, perfectly suited for its muted neighbours, with an interior where Alpine rawness and urban polish mix to create a unique warmness.

A very special store for a very special place, and expression of our love for Alpine chalets and traditional Japanese woodworking.

For Zara we designed a series of cafés that don’t look or feel like a chain, each location rooted in local culture and architecture, aligned with our idea of aesthetic deglobalization.

We created the Zacaffé brand from A to Z -shop, name, products. All in a very short time, something we excel at.

Located at 1 650 meters above sea level in the village of Mürren, in the Swiss Alps heart, Drei Berge is a family, friends and mountains lovers hideout. Electric, cinematic, original and free from the regular codes of luxury hotels, this unique place reaches the highest standards of architecture and comfort, but still makes you feel at home. We designed the entire place and transformed it into a perfect balance between a typical old chalet and a tribute to iconic designers. The Financial Times put it on the cover of their How To Spend It supplement.

We entirely designed La Pharmacie des Âmes in the 7th arrondissement of Paris, a bookstore specialized in social and anti-racist fights. The Pharmacie is now closed but its legacy lives in the Radical Media Archive.

The day before the French parliamentary elections on July 7, we produced and directed the No Pasaran clip to put a stop to the extreme right. Several famous French rappers participated in the project.

Each year, T Magazine asks the designer of the year to organize a party for them during the Mobile – the Milanese design week. For their 20th anniversary, they asked our artistic director Ramdane Touhami and his team to do it. We designed the party, hand in hand with Drei Berge hotel (that we also designed). Take a tour here.

We have our own printing house, the Société Parisienne d’Impression Typographique, the oldest and last engraver in Europe. Embossing, hot stamping, multi-level gilding, debossing… Using machines that have become increasingly rare, we preserve ancestral craftsmanship.
