Maylis Queyrat and Charles Tassin, respectively designer and interior designer, present here their creations that often pay tribute to the 60s and 70s and bring up to date materials that we love such as lacquered wood, patinated steel and polished aluminum.
Under the artistic direction of Godefroy de Virieu, creation at petit h proceeds backwards since it works there, from materials that the other Hermès professions no longer use – leather, silk, crystal, porcelain… – and with which artisans, artists and designers improvise by combining, assembling and adjusting them in a thousand and one ways.
The petit h workshop gives body and meaning to unique and hybrid objects whose functional aesthetics are faithful to the spirit of creation, the quality of the materials and the excellence of Hermès know-how. Creations as surprising as they are delightful. Today, petit h brings a wind of lightness, a touch of mischief and a lot of know-how to a dedicated space, with an entrance and a window that extend those of the Hermès store. Designed by the RDAI agency, it is illuminated by the clarity of the terrazzo-paved floor inspired by a creation by petit h, whose marble is dotted with brass pieces from the leather goods trade.
Echoing the ingenuity and ingenious spirit of the creations of petit h, the store, like a theater stage whose decorative elements fold and fold up, is modular at will. On the whitewashed walls, metal panels stretch out their polished surfaces where the objects are magnetized according to the seasons. The cork furniture takes the form of a set of cubes of different sizes that can be stacked and moved according to the stories told. Equipped with drawers with flanged leather handles from the petit h materials cellar, they express the spirit of diversion dear to this profession.
Four times a year, the hanging is renewed to welcome a new story around re-creation. Earth is the first material to be honored for the inauguration of the store. On this occasion, the objects created with the complicity of the pottery artisans of the Ravel factory in the south of France, for example, combine an earthenware jar with the leather handle of a Kelly bag. Other particularly innovative creations are leather cups made entirely without seams, molded in the workshop like pottery. For Godefroy de Virieu, “these two universes with fundamental and symbolic origins merge in these ephemeral collections, revealing ancestral know-how dear to the house which underline both the simplicity and the technicality of the craftsmen’s gestures”.
Raphaël Le Berre and Thomas Vevaud met 25 years ago on the benches of the Camondo school. They created their architecture agency 10 years ago and, from project to project, have developed their own line of furniture. This collection of armchairs and benches, chests of drawers, consoles, pedestal tables, mirrors, screens or rugs is now exhibited in a gallery dedicated to it. A universe where the shapes are undulating, greedy, the color essential and the materials treated above all for their intrinsic beauty.
True Germanopratin at heart, Charles Zana studied architecture at the Beaux Arts in Paris. The artistic history of the district, its galleries, its publishing houses and even its cafes then made him want to open his agency and his showroom there.
A great defender of a French way of life, Charles Zana is also passionate about the great masters of 20th century Italian design such as Ettore Sottsass or Carlo Scarpa. Each project is a new opportunity for him and his team to showcase French craftsmanship and in his gallery you can discover his furniture collections inspired by his many passions.
Joanne de Lepinay is an interior designer and realizes construction sites, private residences as restaurants or even spa, throughout the world. By traveling a lot and meeting many creators, she ended up deciding to present their work in France and to open boutiques in the places that are dear to her, Paris and Cap-Ferret.
She presents furniture, decorative objects, crockery, jewelry and even clothes chosen with a unique, chic, eclectic and joyful taste. The collections, of course, change according to his desires and his discoveries.
The best way to bring back a souvenir item from the prettiest city in the world or to buy yourself an original item is really to go through the brand new and first shop of Marin Montagut, which opened on June 4, a few steps from its dear Luxembourg Garden.

Crazy lovers of Paris and its emblematic neighborhoods, it captures the soul of everyone with charm and poetry. In this place steeped in history, a former tapestry workshop, Marin, with the help of the decorator Giovanna Maria Fragapane, wanted to recreate the inspiring atmosphere of his studio and his house, with hundreds of lockers where he presents both his finds and his creations.
Alix D. Reynis creates and manufactures a collection of tableware, lamps and small objects in delicate and sophisticated porcelain, with a unique charm. You can even personalize it by having initials or a monogram painted on it by hand.

The history of Maison Moynat begins with the industrial boom and the invention of elegant travel trunks that redefined the art of travel. The House perpetuates this pioneering spirit by highlighting the unique know-how of craftsmen, through special orders requiring exceptional know-how.
Contemporary Moynat trunks such as travel bags or handbags are all revisited in a modern interpretation, using the House’s most refined materials. Each trunk remains faithful to the archives: nails respecting a regular spacing, tinted leather edges, goatskin linings and clasps inspired by historical trunks. The lightness of the wicker of the English Trunk (1873), the curved bottom of the legendary Limousine Trunk (1902), the original silhouette of the Wheel Trunk (1906), the sense of proportion and the detail of the finishes are all inexhaustible sources of inspiration for Nicholas Knightly, Creative Director of Moynat Paris.

Rare objects, sometimes of museum quality, and whose original use or history is often unknown, but Alexandre Piatti likes to reveal all their secrets.
