Using a distinct color palette reminiscent of one of Paris’s most famous contemporary boutiques, Dover Street Market Paris and Crosby Studios have come together to launch Crosby Café within DSM Paris’s mansion building. The cobalt blue might have some shedding a tear in its referencing of the dearly departed Colette – whose use of the color dominated its design – but life moves fast, and this sleek new mixed-concept space is here to keep Parisians from lingering on the past.
The stylish space is set to host exhibitions, events, concerts, and fairs and act as a creative gathering space. Along with the cultural line-up expected to keep things busy, the Crosby Café will also offer food and drink from Rose Bakery and Ten Belles. While sustenance is provided, the space is much more than a café and events space, its beautiful interiors – a mix of carefully weathered original features and directional design – a feature worth visiting for alone.
The space is open now and will run until the autumn. Drop by Hôtel de Coulanges, 35-37 Rue des Francs Bourgeois, Paris. More from Crosby Studios here and on Instagram.
