Twenty years after launching its first Parisian store, Sessùn opens its new flagship in the very heart of the capital, a stone's throw from Place des Victoires, in the bustling Montorgueil district. A space where everything that makes Sessùn so unique comes together: authenticity, warmth, inspiration and uniqueness. A place to meet, exchange ideas and discover the brand's universe, as well as the entire community of artists, designers and craftspeople who help it chart its own path. A path guided by beauty, humanity and sharing.

This store, the eighth in Paris, is a testimony to almost thirty years of passionate creation, demanding choices, strong partnerships, and above all, a rich human adventure driven by respect, dedication to one’s craft and the importance of community.

Imagined in collaboration with the Barcelona-based architecture firm Cobalto Studio, a regular partner since the opening of Sessùn’s Madrid store in 2020, this new space has been conceived as a vibrant hub of life, culture and exchange. Inspired by classical Greek era, this contemporary agora is a place for exchange and sharing where tradition and modernity intertwine. Ancient stones, mosaics, and sculpted furniture coexist with contemporary materials in a balanced setting that creates a sober and powerful aesthetic. The agora will regularly host workshops, conferences, and exhibitions, further enhancing the cultural purpose of the space.

Sessùn also wanted to welcome contemporary creation in this new space by collaborating with talented artisans such as Kautar Larif, Sara Regal, and Audrey Guimard, who have designed exclusive pieces for the store's decoration.

With over 200 m², this space invites visitors to discover the entire Sessùn collection, accompanied by a selection of handcrafted items and a carefully curated bookstore. Sessùn has brought together a curation of pieces by artisans and artists. These unique creations, available for purchase, reflect Sessùn's commitment to celebrating beauty and promoting craftsmanship. Among them are Pascale Zintzen, Mano Mani, Apollonie Céramique, Laura Greindl from Atelier 365, Franca Atelier, Eloi Schultz, Chloé Isaac, Guylène Galantine, Lucia Mondadori, Léa Baldassari, Mulier Studio, Tom & Folks, Caroline Cutaia, Atelier Sao, Astérisque, Gresceramics, Chose Commune, Guillaume Thireau, Benjamin Fély, and Tanti Ceramics. This curation echoes Sessùn's deep desire to support and collaborate with creators, while highlighting the brand's unique identity. It also illustrates one of the company's missions, certified as B Corp since 2024 and designated as a "Société à Mission" since 2023 whose goal is to promote craftsmanship, artisanal trades and textile expertise.
