Fleux

Paris may be known for its luxury fashion boutiques, but Fleux does home decor with the same world-class experience as the shops on the Champs Elysees. Stocking inspired and colorful furniture and home decorations, the offering here is far from what you'll find at IKEA.

         

Opened in 2005 by Luc Moulin and Gaétan Aucher, Fleux is made up of 6 small shops in Le Marais. Offering a unique selection of furniture, lighting, home decor, and textiles, Fleux focuses its offering around two keywords: superfluous and luxurious. Their unique Scandinavian outlook on anything-but-the-ordinary home design has made them one of the most successful shops in Paris, boasting work by the likes of Hervé Matejewski, Ron Arad, Fornasetti and even Vivienne Westwood.

While each of the 6 shops takes on a slightly different angle, they all unmistakably scream Fleux. In the market for a new candle or bouquet of dried flowers to brighten up an otherwise boring bathroom? Stop into n°39 and check out their whimsical selection. How about a flower pot for the backyard or some zero-waste gifts for the hippie friend in your life? n°52 is sure to have exactly what you need and more. And for the kiddos? n°40 is your spot for luxury learning toys. Yes, luxury, learning.

Loved by locals and tourists alike, Fleux is one of those shops you have to see for yourself. Whether you check out one or all 6 of the home decor hot-spots, we doubt you'll be disappointed with your excursion.
