Maison Moynat
In one of the most charming neighbourhoods of London, at 112
Mount Street facing the Connaught Hotel, the London store is the first Moynat shop to open outside of Paris, after the original shop in Paris Saint Honore. With each of Moynat's new stores I explore the different facets of the brand’s personality, though always focusing on the ultimate refinement expressed with a minimum of means: continuity, genuinity, singularity.
The domed ceiling and the arched windows of the store echo the signature curves on Moynat trunks and handbags. The pattern of the ceiling is inspired by the Art Deco period, the golden age of Moynat, when the artist Henri Rapin was the creative director of the House. The unique lighting creates a sense of refinement with a limited almost minimalist palette of materials: leather, suede, wood and strokes of metals, all inspired by the products themselves.
