Following the original design for the Carrousel space below the museum areas, Printemps du Louvre gives shape to a second commercial wing next to the renowned Louvre Inverted Pyramid.
The project is both a continuation of the galleries and a new prime destination within its surroundings. The pull of the sales area is the liveliness of the installations which allow for the display of contemporary art pieces.
The two-story space is structured into a central nave and a transept by the glass volumes and the staircases. The hand-hammered steel surface of the ceiling reflects visitors and their movements that wane into distance, creating one-of-a-kind visual and shopping experiences.
