The windows at Le Bon Marché are always the epitome of French chic and the latest windows are a delight. Le Bon Marché has tapped Top French interior designer Vincent Darré and Italian furniture company Poltrona Frau to create Surrealist scenarios for the windows by reinterpreting creations from collections. Retro television sets features a short black and white film in 1920s style, directed by Darré, based on Dadaist meetings with muses Arielle Dombasle and Catherine Baba.
The Salon à Ciel Ouvert exhibit on the third floor in the form of a funky Parisian hotel particulier features more furniture and designs by Maison Darré and Poltrona Frau with a animal-print wallpaper designed by actress Valérie Lemercier.
