Discovering the Enchanting World of Marin Montagut in Paris - Natalia Willmott

Discovering the Enchanting World of Marin Montagut in Paris

 

Nestled in the heart of Paris, the Marin Montagut boutique is a haven for lovers of art, history, and exquisite craftsmanship. Founded by French illustrator and designer Marin Montagut, this charming shop captures the essence of Parisian elegance and timeless beauty.

Marin Montagut’s journey is as captivating as the objects he creates. Growing up in Toulouse, Marin was surrounded by art and antiques, thanks to his antique-dealer parents and artist grandmother. His passion for beautiful things led him to Paris at the age of 19, where the city’s historic charm and vibrant culture inspired him to pursue his dreams.

Located at 48 Rue Madame, in the 6th arrondissement very close to the Luxembourg gardens, the Marin Montagut boutique is a treasure trove of illustrated homewares, each piece telling a story. From hand-painted porcelain to delicate glassware, the items reflect Marin's artistic vision and love for Parisian heritage. The boutique itself is an art piece, with its vintage decor, beautiful displays and cozy ambiance inviting visitors to explore and discover unique finds.

 I really believe Marin Montagut’s has created something special and that his pieces will stand the test of time. Each item is crafted with meticulous attention to detail, often using traditional techniques passed down through generations. This commitment to preserving artisanal craftsmanship is evident in every brushstroke and intricate design.

Marin’s love for Paris and its hidden gems is also captured in his book, "Timeless Paris." The book is a beautiful collection of photographs and watercolours that celebrate the city’s most inspiring places, a sort of hidden Paris showing gems that one didnt think could still exist. It offers readers a glimpse into Marin’s world, where every corner of Paris holds a story waiting to be told.

For those who cannot visit the boutique in person, Marin Montagut’s online store offers a selection of his creations, allowing admirers from around the world to bring a piece of Parisian charm into their homes. His instagram account is also fabulous and fun to follow as he always takes very charming photos.From whimsical illustrations to elegant decor pieces, the online store is a testament to Marin’s artistic talent and his passion for sharing beauty with others.
