Art director and founder of Nuun Jewels, Nourah Al Faisal wanted to create a crosscultural space
dedicated to her jewellery designs, where Middle Eastern influences would meet French style.
.Hence Nourah Al Faisal briefed and commissioned Brunoir to design its first showroom in Paris.
Brunoir asked Java Architecture to come and join the project.
Together they were able to create a language of cross-cutting expertise between scenography,
design and architecture.
They developed the concept of a jewellery case by designing a double skin partition that runs
along the main wall, and creating a feeling of suspended lightness and spaciousness.
“I love rose gold.”
A favourite of Nuun’s, rose gold became the main thread of the project. Using Nuun’s brand
identity and colours (powder pink, gold and white), the Brunoir x Java Architecture team opted
for a soft and subdued design style so the jewellery creations would shine fully.
If white is the dominant colour on the walls and ceiling, it is enhanced by touches of gold and
powder pink.
In the main boutique room, the pink tone is softened by indirect light hidden behind the double
skin wall. Brass elements contribute to the feeling of refinement and light, with subtle touches
of gold here and there on the partitions, furniture, shelves as well as on the fixtures and fittings.
The jewels are exhibited in displays inside thin white arches.
At the back, an intimate boudoir provides for discreet and quiet meetings.
The boudoir features an inversed curved wall as an echo of the first room. A pink gradation is
painted on it and extends on the wooden floor, adding to its hushed and peaceful ambiance.
The mirror wall alternates silver and golden panels, in a game of light and reflections.
Light is also at the heart of the project. The soft and warm ambiance in the main room and the
boudoir is further enhanced by indirect light and reflections, while direct light inside the displays
focuses on the jewellery exclusively to bring out the beauty and shine of the gemstones.
Brunoir
Based in Paris since 2011, Brunoir is a design and scenography studio created by artist Jennifer Bongibault and scenographer Jeanne Boujenah.
They have developed complementary sensibilities and approaches that create cross-cutting and original designs, perceiving and playing with the interaction between space, images and objects.
They are evolving mainly in the luxury area that offers to them a large expressive scope and meticulous expectations about finitions and productions.
Brunoir works in the fields of interior architecture, scenography, museography and design.
Java Architecture
Java architectes is an architecture office based in Paris. Java was created in 2014 by three associates: Alma Bali, Florian Levy, and Laurent Sanz.
They are evolving in a pragmatic vision. Their main goal is to build sustainable constructions: the architects are considering uses and contexts for their creations.
Their projects are looking for economy and efficiency for the choices of materials and implementation.
The three associates shared their skills and experience with public and private applications on projects from urban areas to living cells.
The office is currently working in different housing and commercial projects.
