C comme C, the architecture and design bureau of Carole Chuffart und Carole Vermont, designed the atypical interior of the restaurant Jeanne B at the foot of Montmartre. This is the fourth time already that the enterprising Parisian gastronome Frédéric Hubig has commissioned the two designers.
In transforming a former boutique into a restaurant/food store on Rue Lepic, Carole Chuffart and Carole Vermont took their inspiration from the graphic-geometric patterns of the 1930s. The open space combines a snug and friendly atmosphere with contemporary minimalism, underscoring the special qualities of C comme C in the superlative handling of colours and materials. Blue and green tones dominate façade and walls, accentuated by furnishings in various textures and nuances of colour. A cunning lighting design enhances the impression of space and is subtly adapted to the different moods of daytime. Sculptural interventions in the space occur as geometric décor, functioning as shelves and support elements and simultaneously drawing the eye onto the commodities on sale; otherwise there are details inspired by flora and fauna, including birch trunks as room dividers and – no irony intended – a stag trophy.
