The Frankie Shop - Haussmann

A minimalist setting. A clear and mineral envelope in textured concrete. A seamless floor, large mirrors that play with perspectives.A clean, flat ceiling, sprinkled with bright accents, emphasizing the space’s guiding lines. Architectural simplicity to sublimate natural materials.

White cork.

Monolithic sculptures give the space its dynamics. Subdued, massive blocks of cork, lacquered in white to harmonize with the concrete.

Black cork.

In the center of the space, a curved partition divides it in two. It is clad in raw black cork, enhanced by rigorous craftsmanship. This material invites us to a multisensory experience. From its manufacturing by cooking oak bark, it retains a delicate aroma with hints of wood fire. Its dark, matte texture absorbs light. It invites touch. A background that enhances clothing.
In the fitting rooms, it provides acoustic insulation, making trying on clothes intimate and soothing.

Works by Donald Judd punctuate this quest for minimalism.
