A journalist for the printed press for the past 20 years, Caroline Tossan-Covillard has set up her boutique rather like a magazine on contemporary design. Reflecting the very latest in home decor, it is inspired by specific themes and exhibitions, as proposed by the Contents page of a magazine. Practical topics are staged such as “The study”, “Entertaining”, “Good housekeeping”... together with new talents, countries, towns etc. In search of today’s most pertinent choice, Maison M proposes furnishings and objects which embellish the atmosphere : from lead pencils to a chandelier for the lounge, nothing is missing ! Maison M Paris, 25 rue de Bourgogne, Paris 7 (01 47 53 07 74).
