Pierre GUILLAUME entrusted the architect François LEBEL with the task of carrying out the metamorphosis of one of its stores in the manner of an anamorphosis by Georges ROUSSE. Through a play of light and shapes that disturbs our perception of volumes and perspective, a new “space within space” appears at the heart of the boutique. The place becomes the theatrical landmark of a work in bronze and thuja by the sculptor Roland COGNET. A Peregrine Falcon perched on a tree trunk sits as the guardian of the place.

CLERMONT-FERRAND - PIERRE GUILLAUME MANUFACTURE
For this 4th French boutique, perfumer Pierre GUILLAUME and architect François LEBEL continue to map the codes and DNA of the House of Pierre Guillaume by imagining a narrative and spacious place.
The Pierre GUILLAUME Manufacture boutique is a hybrid space exploring the concept of “poetic brutalism”. The space is a large monochrome box covered from floor to ceiling with the same gray hue suggesting the bareness and radical simplicity of concrete.

PARIS
Just a stone’s throw from the Palais Royal and the Bourse de Commerce – Fondation Pinault, the visitor, discovering the universe of the house of PIERRE GUILLAUME PARIS, is welcomed by a bronze “Red Monkey” by the sculptor Roland Cognet, seemingly guarding this place, conceived as a temple of perfumery. The sloping walls recalling the profile of the emblematic PG bottle, the mineral atmosphere surrounded by light and the warm blond woods invite you to a sensory journey through our fragrance collections.

LYON
Perfumer Pierre GUILLAUME opened his third French boutique at number 1 rue Emile Zola, in a 19th century building in the heart of Lyon’s Presqu’île. Rue Emile Zola links Place Bellecour to Place des Jacobins. It belongs to the area classified as a world heritage site by UNESCO. It is one of the busiest shopping streets in Lyon. One of the street’s historical inhabitants is Jean-Jacques Rousseau, a nod to fate, as the brand’s first shop was located at 13, rue Jean-Jacques Rousseau in Paris.
