Rue du Midi 18

The 93 m² area in the historic building features baroque elements combined with a raw formwork structure. This spatial tension creates an inspiring environment for planning and materialisation. Two material libraries, textile collections and flexible consultation areas enable structured workflows from the initial sample selection to the final decision.

Distinctive Characteristics

Showroom

The 93 m² showroom in the historic building combines baroque elements with a raw formwork structure – a deliberately staged contrast that promotes creative work. Two material libraries, textile collections, and flexible consultation areas make the location a comprehensive contact point. The team led by Caroline Ding and David De Martin provides personalised and expert advice – for flats, offices, hotels or educational institutions.
