From 1864 to 2022, the History of Spring told through its "first times" and unpublished archives

17 et 18 septembre 2022Passé

To tell the story of Spring is inevitably to enumerate the «first times». And to immerse oneself in its archives is to follow year after year the revolutions of commerce, but also of lifestyles and consumption. For the first time, Printemps exhibits its treasures, from 19th century catalogues to the logotypy goodies of the 1980s.

À propos du lieu

Printemps Haussmann

64 boulevard Haussmann 75009 Paris

Paris
Île-de-France

Founded in 1865 by a particularly visionary businessman, Jules Jaluzot, the Printemps department store on Boulevard Haussmann has an exceptional history. A jewel of the architecture of the late 19th and early 20th centuries, Spring is a striking testimony to the stylistic evolutions that animate this period which today make it one of the most beautiful buildings in the world dedicated to trade. At the rhythm of a world in perpetual change, Spring has, throughout its history, deployed its energy and creative force to renovate, develop, anticipate and cross eras. If the history of the department store is unshakable roots and a certain wealth, Spring has always wanted to remain at the forefront. Today, it combines the past with the future and enriches its heritage with the creations of the greatest contemporary architectural firms.
