bernard dubois translates architectural heritage into valextra’s paris boutique

the ‘valextra’ store, realized by architect bernard dubois, is a seamless integration of deep-rooted milanese heritage with a visual identity that draws equally from italian and belgian preferences. located at galeries lafayette in paris, the leather goods boutique is defined by a central display piece. thought of as a scaled architectural model, its ceppo di gré construction evokes images of grandiose. due to the stone’s prevalence in the façades of milan, its use also provides a subtle homage to the company’s place of origin.
