A boutique dreamt up by Peter Malia, a fan of decor and colours. For this guy from Malta with a “so British” accent, the future had taken the guise of a bank. Not for long ! After a trip to London, a training course with fashionable decorator Jocasta Innes and a meeting with two chemists called Brian and David, he launched “The Little Shop” and inaugurated its premises of 15 sq. metres. His aim is to offer everyone the chance of mastering professional techniques. And the simple use of the products is suggested by the name. Depending on their taste, everyone can add colour to wood, metal or plastic. Currently very popular, rough daubing in sixteen different colours, inspired by Italo-Mediterranean frescos. Works well in bathrooms and kitchens. The Little Shop, 22 rue Emmanuel-Philibert, Nice (04 93 26 77 93).
