Julien Malterre has three passions : decoration, dance and photography. He has just launched himself into the first by inaugurating a boutique in Nice. “Just a boutique for the time being,” he says. Because he is in fact planning to launch a website for on-line sales and also develop synergy with local artists. In his immense showroom (on two floors), he proposes “esthetic and affordable products” such as pouffs and armchairs, plus accessories for the kitchen or simply for fun (check out the Stamps watches, bags from La Tête au Cube and PVC ware signed Jérôme Olivet). A store brimming with good humour, likely to become a must address. Akseswar, 28 rue Lamartine, Nice (08 72 16 17 67).
