Chez Marcel, Maison Fragile’s temporary café-store

Dear Parisians! Maison Fragile – Made in France tableware designer – turns into “Chez Marcel” from November 8 to December 24, 2022, providing you with a temporary café-store to enjoy Proustian gastronomy. Café, madeleines, porcelain, and goodies, the pop-up store is a genuine ode to Marcel Proust.

Founded in 2017, Maison Fragile develops creations made of delicate porcelain from Limoges with emerging artists from the French Touch. The pop-up set rue Trudaine shines a light on the “Chers Parisiens” collection, an assortment of plates, cups and mugs drawn by artist Jean-Michel Tixier, hand-painted in 24-carat gold, and celebrating historic Parisian celebrities like Marcel Proust.
