The narrative that began with the Milan boutique continues: forte_forte inaugurates a new boutique in Paris, at 11 rue de Grenelle, in the heart of the sixth arrondissement, “rive gauche”. An environment with clear references to Jean Prouvé and Carlo Scarpa, granite takes the lead on the floors, walls, and furnishing elements.
A delicate and welcoming space is created, in which the sculptural staircase serves as a pathway, display, and support. Touches of elegance are provided by a wall (which conceals the internal stock area) entirely covered in gold leaf and accented with pink onyx, imparting the boutique with a touch of femininity.
The consistent theme across all the projects is the use of brass, in its natural and frosted forms, harmonizing the environment with its organic character, contrasting the straight lines of the stone. It can be found in some precious furnishing elements, hangers, sculptures, and floor inserts.
Two hinged doors in satin brass welcome visitors into a warm and inviting environment, where the capitonnè further enriches the sensory experience. Discreet and well-distributed lighting, in perfect harmony with the environment, enhances the beauty of the furnishing elements without overpowering them.
As in Milan, the use of greenery demonstrates the desire to create a delicate and pleasant environment to live in.
