Ok, this is beyond great! French bank BNP Paribas has had its main Parisian branch re-designed by decorator Fabrice Ausset (from Zoevox), whose expertise is usually seeked by hotels and restaurants. The result? This colorful and welcoming space, where you can discuss the management of your money with a smile! What are your thoughts about this banking concept?

Today, I want to share with you these pictures of Hermes' new shop in Paris' Left Bank. Opened in november 2010, it was build inside neighboring Hotel Lutetia's former indoor swimming pool, as you can visualize from the shape of the space. Imagined and created by architect Denis Montel of the Rena Dumas architecture company, it presents the brand's fashion collections, its accessories, jewelry and tableware pieces, but also its expanded decoration line (wallpaper, curtains, rugs...) and its stationery creations. Still inside this jaw-dropping space, you'll also find a flower shop, a design bookshop and a tearoom. But all eyes are really on the hut-like wood structures made by German company Holzbau Amann Gmbh. I must say that going there has been a very unbelievable experience for me. This is definitely a must-see visit for all (design-addicted) travelers in Paris.
