The new Oikos Atelier inaugurated in the French capital
On June 25th, we marked a new, fundamental milestone in our path of international growth and expansion. With the official inauguration of the new Oikos Atelier Paris, our journey through markets of excellence reached the heart of the French capital, continuing a global expansion path launched in Dubai in 2022 and destined to soon reach other major world capitals.
Entrance culture and our “arsenalità” across borders
The opening phrase of this new chapter, “Venice meets Paris”, expresses the desire to bring a revolutionary vision of the entrance threshold across borders. For us at Oikos, the entrance has never been a simple functional element, but a true three-dimensional architecture: a space of dialogue between interior and exterior, a home’s calling card, and a place of comfort and protection.
In an international market where entrances are constantly growing in value, size, and design complexity, we respond by exporting our “arsenalità”: that unique union of artisanal craftsmanship and industrial rigor, nourished by an unbreakable bond with our region of origin.
Venetian manufacturing culture in Paris: the mastery of Saverio Pastor
To present this new micro-world inside the Europrotect space in Freneuse, we did not limit ourselves to staging an exhibition of our high-end products. We wanted to offer guests an authentic immersion in Venetian manufacturing culture.
The star and special guest of the Grand Opening was indeed the famous Venetian master remèr and shipwright Saverio Pastor. During the event, the master gave a live demonstration of the ancient art of carving the “forcola”—the characteristic wooden oarlock of the gondola—allowing French architects and designers to experience firsthand the dedication, precision, and passion for the material that guide every artisanal work.
With Atelier Paris, we confirm our role as a benchmark partner for the French design community, proving once again that behind every entrance architecture of ours lies a story made of people, culture, and know-how.
