Descopan's Shinnoki wood panels clad Yema's Paris flagship boutique
French watchmaker Yema's first physical boutique in Paris, designed by Agence Véronique Cotrel, features Descopan's Shinnoki wood panel collection. The Terra Sapele panels, with reddish-brown tones and vertical grain, contrast traditional watchmaking materials like stainless steel and glass. The pre-finished panels undergo a six-layer varnishing process for durability and include an industrial lacquer for high-touch areas. Descopan's 'mixmatch' technique ensures a natural, non-repetitive appearance. The boutique serves as a template for Yema's future retail identity.
