Fragmented archetypes
We are happy to release ciguë's vision for the new Parisian La Samaritaine department store, which has at last opened its doors after being closed for a long time. On 3 floors along the Rue de Rivoli, ciguë continues to fragment Parisian archetypes: a process already set in motion by Sanaa’s powerful undulating glass façade. On a different scale, the Atelier has designed the new Parisian boutique of the bootmaker John Lobb which highlights the brand’s rich DNA, combining heritage and high-tech, showroom and laboratory, boutique and workshop: a timeless, transformative space that features a diversity of materials : walnut, stainless steel, enameled lava, felt, velvet and veined stone.
