It has resumed traditional manufacturing methods. We start the visit by the lobby and the exhibition room. The furniture, as in the downtown store, is signed Starck. We continue through the workshops and the forge (hot), which shows how metal, horn and wood blocks are transformed. Careful polishing, and this is the object ready to expose itself.
