Officine Gullo opened its 15th flagship showroom worldwide in Paris, bringing the full breadth of its design offering to the French capital for the first time. Located at 264 boulevard Saint-Germain, the new space marks a further step in the company’s international expansion and strengthens its European presence in a city where the art of living, craftsmanship and design are central to its identity.
Conceived for architects, interior designers and private clients, the showroom is a place to meet and develop ideas. Visitors can experience the tactile qualities of the metals, compare colors and finishes and work with the Officine Gullo team to create fully bespoke kitchens.
The showroom occupies two floors of a Parisian building with a stone façade and wrought-iron balconies. Three generous windows open onto the boulevard, offering glimpses of a Fiorentina range cooker, a Tailor Made kitchen and a professional barbecue. Each introduces a different aspect of the brand’s collections to the street.
The interiors are light and restrained, allowing the materials and proportions of the kitchens to take center stage. Daylight draws out the metal surfaces, golden detailing and veining of the stone. Throughout, the setting balances architectural precision with the warmth of a home, a quality that defines Officine Gullo’s kitchens.
The layout takes visitors from the brand’s most recognizable designs to the finer details of a bespoke commission. On the ground floor, kitchens and appliances are presented as integral elements of the interior architecture. The lower level offers a closer look at materials, colors and detailing, providing a setting in which to explore and refine design choices.
At the heart of the showroom is a large Tailor Made kitchen arranged around a wall run and central island. A pale palette, outlined with slender burnished brass trims, enhances the light and complements a striking stone splashback with painterly veining. A pyramidal extractor hood anchors the composition above a generous professional cooking area.
The kitchen combines carefully considered proportions with professional functionality. Tall cabinetry integrates a coffee machine, microwave, warming drawer, steam oven and multifunction oven, while a second wall accommodates a fridge, wine cabinet and freezer. The island brings together preparation and washing-up areas, creating an open, sociable focal point.
Every element illustrates Officine Gullo’s bespoke approach. Each kitchen is designed around the proportions of its setting and the routines of the people who use it, with aesthetics, ergonomics and performance considered together, rather than assembled from standard modules.
Alongside the complete kitchen, a selection of freestanding pieces highlights the distinctive character of Officine Gullo’s collections. In the window, a Fiorentina range cooker in a soft shade of pink with copper detailing becomes a statement piece in its own right. Opposite, a green OG Professional barbecue introduces outdoor cooking and entertaining.
The interplay of soft shades, bolder colors and metal detailing shows how color and finish can shape the identity of a kitchen, forming an integral part of the design from the outset.
The lower floor is dedicated to consultations with designers and clients. A generous meeting area sits alongside a materials library featuring color options and metal finishes, together with samples of taps, components and construction details. Open shelving keeps the selection accessible, creating a practical workspace for developing palettes, testing combinations and translating an initial idea into a detailed design.
“Paris is a natural home for Officine Gullo, a city where craftsmanship, design culture and the art of living come together,” said Pietro Gullo, managing director of Officine Gullo. “We envisioned this showroom as a home for design, rather than simply a place to display our collections. A space where architects, interior designers and clients can experience our materials, explore their possibilities and work with us to create truly individual kitchens.”
With its new Paris showroom, Officine Gullo strengthens an international network that offers design advice, technical expertise and direct access to the materials and craft processes behind its collections. From the first concept through to installation, each kitchen is approached as an individual commission and made entirely at the company’s production facilities in the Florence area.
