The most famous of all department stores offer a reinvented version of itself on this prestigious avenue! Its four levels set within a 1930s building were redesigned by Danish architect Bjarke Ingels. Out went the classic display cases, and in came six glass boxes suspended over the dome. This new flagship with a futuristic bent has opted for mixed fashion spaces and focuses on personal stylists to guide clients off the beaten path. It’s a whole new shopping experience, during your stay at Maison Et Objet 2020!
