Madera: the soul of wood, nobly expressed

Madera crafts the very essence of wood through the ingenious process of precomposed veneering, resulting in surfaces of captivating visual harmony and inherent sustainability. From flawlessly coordinated color palettes to intricate inlays that whisper stories, each door stands as a genuine tribute to the natural world.

Founded in 1958 by Marcel Bleustein-Blanchet, founder of the world-renowned advertising agency Publicis Group, the drugstore was designed to bring American bar culture to the Parisian public. Tom Dixon DRS has simplified and enhanced the interior architecture to highlight a broad palette of finishes and materials. The timber walls and marble bars are complimented by deep tones of oxblood upholstery and brass fixtures as a contemporary take on the glamourous Sixties. The library’s lounge offers a more intimate and relaxed dining experience. The lounge is framed by a bespoke brass and reeded glass bookcase. An open kitchen and patisserie serves as a window onto the cuisine of the three Michelen starred chef Éric Frechon.
