But did it anyhow…

“Immersion in the weekend life” by michelle hespe
retail from around the world –
Argentina
The Argentinian gia Global Honoree – PAUL French Gallery – is a hidden sanctuary where relaxed weekend vibes are celebrated through an eclectic curation of beautiful products in a market-like atmosphere. We wanted to keep the original environment exposed, as we believe in bringing the original sense of things to the surface; to not hide them,’ the owners of Paul French Gallery say. We wanted to engage with the space’s story, and even wanted the floors to sound old when you walk on them.’ So, there is that sense of history, explaining how they, by coincidence, found the old, obscured building that became their store, after a thorough renovation work.We want and expect our clients to take an active attitude towards the store,’ is the message.
