Kwerk Unveils Its Fifth Location: A Fusion of Heritage and Contemporary Design

Paris, France – Kwerk, a pioneering name in exceptional workspaces, proudly announces the grand opening of its latest location at 16 Avenue de Messine, Paris 8th. This milestone marks the brand’s fifth establishment, reinforcing its vision of reimagining the modern workspace with a perfect blend of architectural heritage and innovative design.

Led by Albert Angel, co-founder and architect-designer, the project transforms a historic 1875 building into a modern masterpiece. Drawing inspiration from the works of artist Do Ho Suh, Angel employs an architectural approach that plays with perception, bringing a bold new vision to this timeless space.

A Harmonious Blend of History and Innovation

The lobby, the heart of Kwerk Messine, epitomizes Angel’s creative philosophy. Featuring a spectacular dome woven like a spider’s web, the structure appears to float effortlessly in space. Painstakingly crafted by French artisans over 7,000 hours, the dome’s interplay with light creates a mesmerizing illusion of weightlessness.

Classic architectural mouldings take on a new dimension, with amplified proportions that challenge traditional design norms. These striking elements extend throughout the space, offering a captivating contrast between historical grandeur and modern innovation.

This unique interplay is echoed in the carefully curated furniture. Custom-made armchairs, crafted from ceramic and bouclé fabric, harmonize with the ethereal textures of the dome. Bistro chairs from Kartell, upholstered in Emilio Pucci’s acid-toned fabrics, add a vibrant pop of color, enhancing the visual dialogue between classical and contemporary elements.

An Exclusive Workspace Like No Other

The pursuit of balance extends to the barista area, where Kwerk blends sophistication with warmth. Inspired by traditional gentlemen’s clubs, the space features custom-designed Chesterfield sofas that exude comfort and refinement. Handcrafted stained glass windows by L’Âme du Vitrail tell the story of Kwerk’s various locations, narrating the brand’s journey through an exquisite interplay of light and color.

“Kwerk Messine is the perfect harmony of Haussmannian heritage and contemporary design. From the layout to the services, every detail has been conceived to elevate the work experience.” – Albert Angel, Co-founder, Kwerk.

This duality—monumentality versus lightness—defines the entire building, where imposing columns and sculptural furniture seamlessly coexist with airy textures and luminous materials.

The green rooftops, boasting breathtaking views of the Eiffel Tower, further enhance the experience, offering a tranquil space for contemplation and relaxation. Inside, parquet flooring and wall coverings by Maison Moooi bring depth to the interiors, drawing inspiration from the sleek lines of Art Deco.
