Thanks to Nicolas Di Felice‘s undeniably talent, the revival of Courrèges is unstoppable, and next to its much-publicised catwalk shows, its also reflected by an expanding retail presence. Following the inauguration of the brand’s first retail space in Paris, a second boutique has opened in the city’s fashionable Marais district. The store occupies a lofty 235 sqm. (2,530 sq.ft.) space on the ground floor of a residential brick structure built in 1910. For the interior design, Courrèges once again tapped Belgian architect Bernard Dubois who implemented the legacy design codes, albeit adapted to modern times, and of course, the location’s dimensions. The elongated premises has rounded corner sections entirely clad in mirrors, and comes with arched alcoves, white flooring, mirrored walls and club-inspired spotlights. Furnishings and shelving are integrated, creating a subtle sci-fi effect element that’s very much part of the brand’s DNA. The new Courrèges store carries the full range of women’s and men’s apparel, accessories, bags, shoes, eyewear and jewellery pieces. © superfuture

Publishers Note
Just to be clear – superfuture® is a design blog and not a political commentator. No surprise there. The scope of our content has always been global and borderless, however that can often mean covering projects in countries where we will not agree with the politics or actions of those countries. In a world that’s as screwed up as ever right now, the focus of our support is to those designers, architects and other creatives who aim to make the world a more liveable one – as opposed to people that try their hardest to destroy it. So if a project hits our desk and we like it based on its design credentials, we may choose to publish regardless of its location or creators nationality. superfuture® has always been inclusive and hopes for all current wars, aggression, violence, hate and extremism to end.
