The Leather Florist
Paris, rue du Louvre
Floral poetry on a Paris façade
ATHEM translated the creative vision of the Parisian leather goods Maison into a bold architectural statement. Crafted from metal and mineral plaster, the monumental petals rise gently, brought to life by hand-made stamens and Polène’s own leather. These floral elements — all handcrafted in France — were seamlessly integrated with a removable structure, with reuse in mind.
A tribute to artisanal craftsmanship
Unveiled for the opening of ‘The Leather Florist’, Polène’s pop-up next door, this temporary installation is a sculptural, poetic tribute to craftsmanship.
