Ria is Filipina and Yiouri is Cypriot, one studied design and the other architecture. They met in London in the 1980s where they both worked for the designer John Stefanidis. Few years later they decided to achieve (to fulfil) their dream by creating their first collection of furniture and by showing it in Paris. Success was instantaneous : the Crillon placed an order for the apartments of this luxury hotel, Neiman Marcus and Barney’s show them in New York City. They settled in the Rue du Bac and since then never stopped creating furniture very inspired by Art Deco for which they have no limits concerning the choice of materials that they use, like at that time : rare woods, crocodile, python, cobra or ostrich skin, but also horn or mothers-of-pearls.

After Habitat, Sir Terence Conran created the Conran Shop, his own line of shops, in 1973 in London, in which he wants to show both great design classics and the young designers’ creations. In Paris, he settled in the former warehouses of the Bon Marché designed by Gustave Eiffel. The Conran Shop is a successful alternative between the mass consumption design like Ikea or Habitat and the design in unique pieces or in numbered series presented in galleries.
La Belle Juliette also offers a spa and this place, as the Belle Juliette, is delightful : the cubicles are warm, the pretty pool incites to relaxation, but above all the cares given are really innovative : created by Céline Claret-Coquet, who has a degree from the Academy of Pekin, they are stemed from the Chinese medicine, based on seasons and on our biorhythm.

A little spa as discreet as perfect, which gives home-made cares (a beauty care concentrated in hyaluronic acid is highly prized) as well as complete formulas like a steam bath, followed by a body scrub then by a Balinese or Oriental massage. There is also a large range of body cares and facial skin cares that are all personalized.
When Aristide Maillol died, Dina Vierny, who was his Muse and his companion, decided to create a foundation. This foundation was inaugurated in 1995. The Musée Maillol gathers together a collection of drawings, engravings, paintings and sculptures of the artist, but also his personal collection in which we can find some works of art by Ingres, Cézanne, Matisse, Degas or Picasso.
The museum regularly organizes temporary exhibitions dedicated to antique and modern art, but also to contemporary art and to the major artists of the 20th century.
Created in 1990 by the Fondation Electricité de France (French Electricity Fondation), this place is dedicated to thematic exhibitions about nature, patrimony and above all about contemporary art. Cinema, video, photography and new technologies are always in honour.
