The new Maria Luisa store in Paris is inspired by the art collector Ghislain Mollet-Viéville.

Laurent Buttazzoni and Frederic Lavaud challenged themselves to give the store a modern environment by neither overloading the space, nor making it look too insignificant.

Their main inspiration was found in the apartment of Ghislain Mollet-Viéville, a conceptual art collector. Just like this apartment, various parts of the store are seperated by three primary colours. It gives the shop the illusion of three painting that would embellish an apartment. These colours highly contrast with the dominant charcoal-grey and white and give meaning to the various clothing and accesoires that can be bought at the store.
