Dover Street Market

The new garden chair by Embru in Paris’s Marais fashion district

Embru has supplied 50 Park Chairs for the bistro at the new Dover Street Market in Paris. The concept store of the avant-garde fashion label Comme des Garçons stocks exclusive clothing and accessories from its own brand as well as other luxury brands such as Maison Margiela, Balenciaga and Bottega Veneta.

The first Dover Street Market opened twenty years ago, in 2004, on Dover Street in London. Further DMS branches subsequently opened in Tokyo (2012), New York (2013), Los Angeles (2019), Singapore (2017) and Beijing (2018). There is also a perfumery already in operation in Paris. The Dover Street Market, which has now been fitted with chairs by Embru, is the eighth of its kind.

The interior design of the shop and the dining area where the Park Chair is situated is the work of Rei Kawakubo, Creative Director of Comme des Garçons. Anyone entering the shop embarks on a journey of discovery: from the outside, the shop is barely recognisable as a boutique – there are no shop windows. Kawakubo comments that the more effort a visitor has to put in to make a discovery, the greater the satisfaction. The shop is a ‘Space Ship Shop’. And that is all that needs to be said about it; the rest is for you to discover for yourself.
