Since being founded by Frédéric Boucheron in 1858, French jewellery house Boucheron has crafted bold, beautiful designs that make a lasting impression on wearers—a distinction that no doubt helped cement its status as one of the 10 most influential jewelry designers of the 20th century. To coincide with its 160th anniversary, Boucheron and its parent company, Parisian-based luxury group Kering, renovated its iconic flagship at 26 Place Vendôme in Paris. Built in 1717, Hôtel de Nocé was originally home to a long list of influential French families and personalities before becoming Boucheron’s home in 1893.
Tasked with recreating the original look of Hôtel de Nocé, interior designer Pierre-Yves Rochon used period-specific furnishings and touches to transport visitors to a different era. A historic entrance on Rue de la Paix still boasts the double-height volumes, Paris-stone facings, checkerboard stone, and cabochon ornament of the original building, while a grand staircase built in the 18th-century has been restored to its timeless grandeur.
