The interior design by CENTRAL architects, Sophie Dars and Pierre Leguillon draws inspiration from the first literary salons and the intimacy of the living rooms in which they were originally held. A communal space and bookshop that feel as familiar and welcoming as a cosy living room, while remaining open to an entire city.
