Why do I go to style shops once I write about interiors? On each design week when in Milan or Paris, I like to go to a number of shops that possibly at first look will not be that a lot inside my area of interest. The garments are after all superbly made however what actually attracts me is the inside. Style shops typically supply a distinct method of taking a look at house. The interiors could be extra experimental, with uncommon supplies, furnishings or small particulars that may simply translate to a house. I’m all the time and inquisitive about these concepts and the small particulars I typically uncover. Throughout my current journey to Paris, I visited The Row for precisely that purpose.
The Row
The Row was based in 2006 by Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen. In September 2024, they opened their first Paris retailer at 1 Rue du Mont Thabor, near Rue Saint-Honoré. The shop is in a former restaurant, and far of the unique inside was saved in the course of the renovation, together with the flooring, columns and partitions. In the course of the work, a big stone arch, uncovered pipes, stained glass and a weathered picket pillar have been additionally found.
The inside contains classic and Twentieth-century furnishings, together with two Traineau chairs by Victor Courtray from 1940, that are nonetheless within the retailer. There may be additionally a black espresso desk with a graphic white sample. In one of many becoming rooms, you may nonetheless see the Jean Prouvé steel sliding door, whereas the window blinds by Lilou Marquand are additionally nonetheless there, Did you see the small particulars on the blind mechanism! There may be additionally a small espresso bar within the retailer, which was initially a part of the previous restaurant.
