AESTHE, NEW AESTHETIC SETTING

In 2014, architects Antoine Prax and Romain Freychet decided to create their own multidisciplinary agency, naming it GRAMM E. For the past eight years, the creative duo has been developing numerous projects across diverse fields such as 3D imaging, scenography, and design. Whether it's their new collection of paper furniture, in collaboration with Mono Éditions, or their recent architectural project in Saint-Ouen, Romain and Antoine imbue their creations with a gentle, refined poetry that soothes the soul. This distinctive quality earned them the AJAP Prize in 2020, which recognizes young European architects and landscape designers. With Aesthé, the two architects are now venturing into a new realm: aesthetic medicine.

Located in the 4^e In the heart of the Marais district of Paris, the aesthetic medicine center recently opened its doors. The establishment's white facade and exposed stone through the large windows instantly evoke a sense of well-being. For this new project, the architecture firm worked closely with the Architects of the Buildings of France and the Compagnons stonemasons to preserve the original character of this unique space. Both minimalist and elegant, the Aesthé center resembles a design gallery with its displayed decorative objects and modernist furniture. Spread over three floors, the different spaces reveal a play of textures and forms through the use of raw materials such as wood, stone, and ceramic, inviting contemplation. Aesthé provides a moment of tranquility amidst the hustle and bustle of Paris.
