The
aesthetic continuities between the design of the new Paris store on
Avenue Montaigne and earlier work for Calvin Klein are clear. Where the
challenge in New York was to insert new accommodation without
disrupting the handsome proportions of the original interior, however,
in Paris the raw material was less architecturally striking, with
pressure on floor space preventing the incorporation of extensive
double-height elements. The design therefore focuses on the quality of
the spatial sequence and on the refinement of the smallest details of
junction, light and surface.
