Paris Design Week: DEGree store and FACE A FACE
FACE A FACE 30th anniversary celebrations continue with installation by Valentin Lebigot
FACE A FACE has teamed up with the designer, Valentin Lebigot to unveil a special installation at the DEGree (Design Eyewear Group) flagship store on Rue Pernelle – for Paris Design Week. First opened in July 2023, the DEGree flagship store brings together all the sunglasses collections from the nine brands of Design Eyewear Group. For this anniversary, the showroom has been transformed under the creative direction of Valentin Lebigot, with a graphic, multi-coloured interior set featuring custom-made displays. Every element in the design of the displays has been conceived to highlight FACE A FACE sunglasses and reveal their sculptural qualities and beautiful colours.
The installation is showing throughout Paris Design Week, Monday to Friday from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., and will continue through to the weekend of the Silmo Paris trade fair (26th to 29th September), as a unique conclusion to the 30th anniversary celebrations. Above: installation by Valentin Lebigot, with sunglasses by FACE A FACE
The collaboration between the brand and the designer began last March when they designed a re-edition of the Halo mirror, an iconic model by Valentin Lebigot which was then distributed to the brand’s partner opticians. Designed as a nod to the intimate moment when one discovers a frame in front of their reflection, this mirror represents “a dialogue between design, gaze, and identity”. After the success of the collaboration, FACE A FACE asked Lebigot to create a new set for the store with point-of-sale materials designed to be perfectly in tune with FACE A FACE’s avant-garde spirit and design style.
About Valentin Lebigot Committed to a local and sustainable self-production approach through 3D printing, Valentin Lebigot has been developing for several years a graphic and colourful universe, perfectly in sync with the creative and bold values of FACE A FACE. Inspired by the 1980s Memphis movement, he creates colourful, graphic, responsible designs, showcased in prestigious venues such as the Louis Vuitton Foundation and the Palais de Tokyo.

Jacques Marie Mage (JMM) Gallery, London, UK
Luxury eyewear: Jacques Marie Mage (JMM) ‘Gallery’ opened in the Spring on Chiltern Street
Offering a signature selection of limited-edition eyewear, leather goods, jewellery, finely curated artifacts and ‘exceptional objects’, JacquesMarieMage London is conceived as a modern approach to the traditional aesthetic of the old-world gentleman’s club. The store interior was created by the French interior designer Jacques Garcia to bring both authenticity and originality to what is the first retail outlet for JMM in the UK.
“With an almost futuristic or innovative approach, we go back in time in order to begin a narration at the beginning of the 19th century and invite the discerning collector to join us on our travels,” said Garcia about this concept. “What inspired me was 19th century English literature, philosophers from across the Channel, those British films from the 1950s in black-and-white where mist is omnipresent, and of course the English taste for extremely lively woods – mahogany, for example – and strong colours.”
In line with all JMM Galleries (there are already ‘JMM galleries’ in several cities including Tokyo, Milan and Paris), a feature of the location is its foundational furnishings, a suite of custom creations produced by Paris-based furniture design firm Hervet Manufacturier to complement the gallery’s distinctive offerings and custom decor, including a large-scale, multi-piece painting entitled Vanitas Vision, created by Andy Dixon. The Vancouver-born, Los Angeles-based artist creates bright and opulent works that often reference Renaissance-era portraiture or Flemish still lifes. He integrates odd juxtapositions and electric palettes into colorful canvases that reflect upon the rituals and totems of affluence and privilege.
“My work always samples from art history and I’ve explored the Vanitas themes many times,” said Dixon. “These pieces mark a breakthrough in how things look, though. They’re among the first paintings that have this kind of punk cut-n-paste aesthetic to them and I plan on carrying that into all pieces moving forward!” Above: the facade of JMM on Chiltern Street – one of London’s most exclusive shopping destinations
A display of the signature of JMM, the design, aesthetic style and ‘provocative artistry’, the London Gallery embodies what the LA company describing it as an “especially sophisticated sense of English eccentricity, yet another rarified experience that encourages collectors to ‘Embrace The Spectacle'”.
