The Refreshment Club unveils paris flagship for porcelain house<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

At 69 Rue des Saints-P\u00e8res<\/strong><\/a> on Paris\u2019s<\/strong><\/a> Left Bank, architect and creative director Onur Kece of The Refreshment Club introduces the flagship store<\/strong><\/a> of contemporary porcelain<\/strong> <\/a>house Saints P\u00e8res, conceiving the showroom as a space of transformation. The 160-square-meter interior operates as a laboratory that immerses visitors in the slow, sensory rituals that shape it.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

The spatial concept draws directly from the raw materials and techniques of porcelain-making. Red brick<\/strong><\/a> walls and counters, stacked dry without mortar, evoke the interiors of traditional kilns while also recalling industrial pallet systems, with their rhythmic repetition. A full-ceiling lightbox filters ambient illumination across the space, simulating the clear, even light of a sunlit day that softens edges, warms textures, and heightens the tactile character of each surface. At the far end, a long poured-concrete<\/strong> <\/a>counter anchors an open workshop, where making becomes a visible and ongoing act.<\/p>\n

Saints P\u00e8res centers rituals in landscape of stone and clay<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

The spatial narrative unfolds in geological time. Opposite the entrance, a rough stone wall mimics the layered strata of clay quarries, grounding the boutique in the earthbound origins of its core material. This sense of grounding is enhanced by raw walls that breathe, edges that remain imperfect, and transitions that are felt more than marked. Movement through the space is uninterrupted and intuitive, every threshold is porous, and every boundary is blurred.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Paris-based architect<\/strong><\/a> Onur Kece, founder of The Refreshment Club creative agency<\/strong><\/a>, structures the boutique around three active zones that reinterpret the art de la table through contemporary gestures. An olive oil bar presents some of the rarest extra virgin varieties from around the world, inviting tasting as a sensory act. A custom coffee bar offers curated blends roasted in-house, while a modular zone hosts chef-led dinners, tastings, and artist collaborations, transforming the Saints P\u00e8res boutique into a site of hospitality and experimentation.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Saints P\u00e8res, as a brand<\/strong><\/a>, proposes porcelain as a medium through which attention, care, and sensorial presence are practiced daily. In this context, the store is an instrument of that philosophy, with Kece\u2019s design inviting visitors to slow down, to observe, to touch, and to taste.<\/p>\n
