Acne Studio Marais

Acne’s new Paris flagship, joining the Palais Royal gem, opened last month in Rue Froissart, across the street from the Bonton concept store. The exquisite new space combines raw industrial elements with clean Scandinavian influences. Shoppers are greeted at the entrance by golden yellow glass and the silhouette of a marble sculpture by English artist Daniel Silver. The existing rough industrial walls of this former garage form the backdrop to a new, clean and contemporary space. Natural coloured carpets contrast with rough concrete walls. Set-like partitions are made from aluminum, hard on the outside but soft on the inside. The ceilings are dark blood red, punctuated by LED lighting. The walls morph into long benches, becoming display areas as well as seating… Don’t miss.
3 rue Froissart, 3rd. Mon-Sat, 11am–7pm. 01 49 96 96 91.
