Every winter for the past seven years, la maison CHANEL opens its ephemeral boutique in the elegant Savoyard ski resort of Courchevel.

For few months the firm establishes residence in a beautiful 160m2 space spread over two levels, and with a décor inspired by Korea which echoes the silhouettes and accessories of the 2015/16 Cruise collection shown in Seoul last May.

The shades of pink and celadon green which decorate the boutique unfold over a polished, geometric architecture orchestrating an encounter between raw and refined materials such as concrete and metal, tulle and lacquered wood.

Conceived as a single entity, the ground floor is structured with transparent celadon green screens placed randomly against the walls.
