Nikos Koulis Opens First International Boutique in Paris
Nikos Koulis, the Greek jeweler, has launched his inaugural international boutique in Paris, situated at the entrance of the prestigious Village Royal shopping area in the 8th arrondissement. This new location is in proximity to high-end brands such as Hermès, Prada, and Berluti. Koulis partnered with the London-based architecture firm Bureau de Change, who previously assisted him in designing his flagship store in Athens in 2024. The boutique's design maintains the allure of the original 1700s structure while offering a modern, architectural style over two levels. The first floor showcases herringbone timber floors, pink marble, and custom stone plinths for jewelry. The second floor features a seating area and a versatile space for dining and private viewings, decorated with furniture by Oscar Niemeyer and art from Koulis's collection. Koulis founded his maison in Greece in 2006 and opened his first standalone store in Mykonos in 2014. His boutique at 26 rue Boissy d'Anglas operates Monday to Saturday from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m.
