At the end of the 1980s, Andrée Putman developed a Paris boutique for Balenciaga, distinguished by its understated refinement and strong visual identity. She created bespoke furniture, including a remarkable piece: a monumental trunk clad in chocolate leather with brass studs, reflecting her taste for combining the precious with the discreet. The boutique’s lines are pure, the geometry assertive. Every detail reflects this pursuit of precision: no overload, no excess, only rigorous elegance. The boutique was not merely a retail space; it became an architectural stage where the product finds its place within a refined setting.
