Jakob + MacFarlane and Frédéric Malle join forces to defy the laws of nature with a sea of floating islands, suspended in time and space. Together they envisioned a mirrored box, slipped into the existing shell of a historic building, where the cluster of islands could be reflected into infinity. The endless visual complexity produced by the mirrors is an invitation to reflect on your own while choosing the perfume that defines you.

37 Rue de Grenelle opened in 2000 and was the first Editions de Parfums boutique. It was conceptualized by Andrée Putman and Frédéric Malle and designed by Olivier Lempereur. It was imagined as a hybrid space that combines the décor of a Parisian apartment with the clinical design of a fragrance lab, arousing the same strange fascination as that of a cabinet of curiosities.

This store was once Frédéric Malle’s studio before Jacques Grange redesigned it in 2006. It reflects Frédéric Malle’s flair for combining styles: his futuristic smelling columns in black anodized metal and yellow glass contrast with a chimney in the Directoire style, a Spanish 17th-Century traveling table and a set of stainless steel tables designed by Patrick Naggar.

Frédéric Malle designed this store as he would his own Milanese pied-à-terre. A constellation of modern objects - from Horst’s dynamic photographs of Cy Twombly’s studio, to Donald Judd’s stacked, minimalistic metal sculptures, to Hirst- style shelves - surrounds a Jean Prouve table, Mies Van Der Rohe chairs and a sofa inspired by the ones found at the Villa Malaparte in Capri. Upstairs, Breuer Wassily armchairs infuse the space with the spirit of Bauhaus. Both floors are illuminated and enhanced by the masterful work of Hervé Descottes.

Frédéric Malle opened his first New York store in one of the most prized Art Deco buildings of the Upper East Side. He asked Patrick Naggar in 2009 to design it as a contemporary interpretation of a 1930s Parisian apartment. Frédéric would later decorate it with a set of furniture designed by Jules Leleu in the 1930s for the Malle family, accompanied by his signature smelling columns in brushed aluminum.

Frédéric Malle commissioned the legendary American architect, Steven Holl, to conjure up an all-encompassing vision for 94 Greenwich Avenue. The result is a hidden gem of futuristic, walnut wood sculptures and aluminum foam, slotted like a drawer into the brownstone and illuminated by lighting magician Hervé Descottes.

Frédéric Malle reveals a new décor that was entirely his own vision. Two rooms: in the first, a black and white fresco of oversized plants and flowers, hand-painted by the artist and illustrator Konstantin Kakanias; in the second, a deep purple, Peter Dunham fabric on the walls, an 18th century antique desk purchased by Frédéric at auction, and an elegant sofa in Prelle fabric. Softening his own crisp elegance with the extravagant comforts of vintage Hollywood glamor, Frédéric welcomes you into his world.
