In a dazzling celebration of French excellence, Cinabre unveiled its latest Parisian location, a collaborative masterpiece with the renowned Necchi Architecture studio. As the esteemed official tie supplier for the Presidency of France, Cinabre’s new establishment is a four-story embodiment of luxury, showcasing the brand’s artisanal savoir-faire and its unique vision of Parisian art de vivre.
Founded in 2011, Cinabre has consistently championed hexagonal artisanal production, a commitment that takes on new dimensions at 14 Cité Bergère. Reflecting founder Alexandre Chapellier’s French-Swedish heritage, exceptional craftsmen, including French and Swedish collaborators, have been invited to contribute their rare expertise. Collaborations with Pierre Frey for upholsteries, Hästens for bedding, Plaq chocolate for Suite breakfasts, and Céline Escand for skincare products infuse the space with a rich tapestry of artistry.
The ground floor of Cinabre’s boutique is a curated space, featuring a lounge adorned with Pierre Frey fabric reminiscent of Malmaison Napoleon museum, a concierge desk staffed by uniformed personnel, and a vinyl record listening room. A century-old staircase leads to design studios with direct access to the boutique.
Cinabre’s boutique offers an array of fashion accessories that have cemented the brand’s reputation, including ties, bow ties, caps, silk square scarves, and bandanas. The addition of two hotel suites has prompted the launch of an Art de Vivre Collection, encompassing blankets, candles, stationery, dressing gowns, and soon, perfumes. Collaborative pieces from partner artisans and ceremonial jackets from the designer’s collection are also showcased.
Bespoke furnishings, designed in collaboration with Necchi Architecture, enhance the boutique’s allure. A scarf jukebox, a 7-meter-long varnished wooden drawer cabinet for ties and bow ties, and a counter resembling the cabin of a futuristic starship contribute to the unique ambiance.
The two upscale apartments, named La Suite Cinabre N°1 and La Suite Cinabre N°2, reflect Cinabre’s elegant design codes, seamlessly blending black-tie chic with pop culture across generous reception and living areas. Each suite, spanning nearly 100m2, features kitchens and cocktail bars and is adorned with framed Cinabre silk scarves, works by photographer Bianca Sforni, family portraits, and sketches and paintings by Grand Couturier Michel Goma, Alexandre’s mentor.
Noteworthy details include sofa cushions made from fabrics used for Cinabre ties, floral tapestries chosen from Pierre Frey’s archives, and bespoke furnishings designed in collaboration with Necchi Architecture, such as a scarf jukebox and a 7-meters-long varnished wooden drawer cabinet holding hundreds of ties and bow ties.
