Marimekko opens its first flagship store in Paris
Finnish design house Marimekko is opening its first-ever Paris flagship store on October 24th.
Located at 120 Rue Vieille du Temple in the Le Marais district, “Marimekko Le Marais” is designed to be the definitive home of the brand in Paris. The 140-square-meter space represents than a store; it’s an experiential hub dedicated to the brand’s joyful way of life and art of printmaking.
The store’s concept is an homage to Marimekko’s legendary textile printing factory in Helsinki. The interior has exposed structural elements, playful primary colours from printing screens, and industrial details such as painted metal railings and fabric carts. This unique environment provides the perfect canvas for the brand’s full lifestyle assortment, from ready-to-wear and bags to home decor.
“This store allows us to build an engaging window into the world of Marimekko’s art of printmaking and to connect with the lives and homes of Parisians with a Finnish flair,” said Rebekka Bay, Creative Director of Marimekko. “To me, this store perfectly captures Marimekko’s lifestyle philosophy: it is a space that feels like a home away from home.”
The opening marks a significant milestone in Marimekko’s international expansion, joining its network of flagship stores in cities like New York, Tokyo and Stockholm.
