Marie-France and Stéphanie Cohen

Marie-France COHEN I LIKE I’m 74 years old. I founded and sold Bonpoint. I founded and sold MERCI. I like people, children, houses, beauty in all its forms, nature, trees, the sea… I like creating, staging, making do. I like others’ talents and all ages and stages of this crazy life. Whatever I’ve created, it’s thanks to all the talented people who have walked with me on this journey, my love Bernard, my sister Dominique, Domitile, Marion, Jean-Luc, Daniel, Adrienne…and so many others. Today, creating a new concept is my way of staying alive. Démodé means all of us TOGETHER: 3 stages of life, 3 talents, 3 expert eyes, Marie-France, Stéphanie, and Elysa. It’s a desire to create a unique, welcoming, amazing place and presenting a selection of decorative, useful, fashionable, and beautiful objects. It’s a desire to welcome you there and make the experience one you’ll savor. Stéphanie COHEN I WANT I want to be unique, be different, be amazed, and have you amaze me. I dream of beauty that caresses the eye. I want my home to be beautiful and one-of-a-kind, and for my friend’s home to surprise me. I want the colors to be right and the proportions harmonious. I want to work hard and leave on vacation to that Mediterranean that lives within (even in the winter). I want to have the pleasure of working with friends. Démodé is the adventure I’d been waiting for, one that means freedom. It means envisioning spaces and products in a brand-new way. It means creating and selecting objects that are beautiful and useful. It means inventing a hundred settings that invite you to change your home. It means searching out, unearthing rare finds for you: THE garment, rug, fabric, lamp, fragrance… It means creating, for you, the space of my dreams. Photo credits: Constance Gennari
