Nice Nathalie Couadau and Alexandra Rossi share an almost immoderate taste for interior decor. They have turned their passion into their work, the first as interior decorator, the second as interior designer. Today, they are pooling their talents and launching Absinthe, a boutique and consultancy, necessary for several reasons. Why do people stop in to see them ? For a coffee, comfortably installed on the couch. To discover the many items that Nathalie and Alexandra unearth here and there (they are the exclusive representatives of “Absolument Absinthe, le Parfum d’Interdits” on the Riviera), to discuss a project or simply enjoy the atmosphere. “We like the ambiance in this working-class neighbourhood, the vitality which emerges from it.” Energy the pair certainly don’t lack, as they are capable of handling everything on a project, from the initial stroke of the pen to its final expression. Orders are in fact flooding in though, for the sake of discretion, nothing is divulged until contracts are signed. The boutique itself is in perpetual motion, following the flow of the arrival and departure of various objects. Depending on the seasons and events, the stage is set and then evolves. Coming very soon, a “chic and ad hoc flea-market “ that the locals are already awaiting impatiently. Absinthe, 54 boulevard Joseph-Garnier (04 93 35 71 31).
