And while the harmony among the objects can definitely be felt in the store, we guarantee you won’t be disappointed once you’re home, as each piece has its own style and unique personality.

A gallery space to shine a light on emerging artists

But that's not all! Frédérique also hunts for some vintage pieces here and there, like charming cocktail glasses or twinkling stars that probably belonged to a club sign from the 80s. The manager is also passionate about showcasing emerging talents with a "gallery" space located in the corner of the shop. Every three months, she features a new artist to highlight different worlds, whether it be through photography or illustration. Until the end of March, you can especially admire the paintings of Stéphanie Bardy, featuring original and colorful paper-cut works.
