Cigar Club & Caves of Hôtel de Paris

In the Cigar Lounge, conceived as a private and luxurious retreat for connoisseurs, the lighting design plays a crucial role in shaping the atmosphere. Integrated within the custom-designed furniture, the light reveals the textures of the wood and leather, accentuating the richness of the materials without ever overwhelming the space. Hidden sources within the cigar displays and bookshelves create a delicate interplay of light and shadow — a “see and not see” effect that preserves mystery and exclusivity. Inside the Humidor, the warm, amber-toned light enhances the presence of the cigars, highlighting their variety while wrapping the visitor in a soft, enveloping glow.

In Les Caves of the Hôtel de Paris, a place steeped in history and emotion, the lighting concept evokes the depth and serenity of a wooden cask. Subtle lines of light run between the wooden slats, animating the surfaces and creating a living skin of architecture. The illumination was designed with extreme care to ensure optimal wine preservation, while maintaining a coherent and poetic visual identity. In the Marie Blanc Room, home to the most precious bottles of the collection, the lighting becomes more theatrical — reflections, shadows, and shimmering glass converge to create a space of reverence and wonder, where light itself seems to honor the legacy of the cellar.
