# Culturally Influenced Parisian Boutiques Halleroid Designs the New L/Uniform Boutique in Paris By Amy Duong | Published 2023-05-02 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/luniform References: [dezeen](https://www.dezeen.com/2023/04/30/halleroed-l-uniform-paris-boutique-interior/) & [halleroed](https://halleroed.com/)  Stockholm design studio Halleroid designs a new [boutique in Paris](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/saint-laurent-avenue-montaigne) for a French [bag and luggage imprint](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/carl-friedrik) led by the studio's design lead Ruxandra Halleröd. The boutique is made up of two rooms that celebrate the brand's French heritage with elements that draw Japanese and [Scandinavian design](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/scandinavian-aesthetics) as well -- better known as Japandi. The first room is influenced by a traditional French marketplace with its display furniture and rustic design. Halleröd speaks to Dezeen, noting that "It reminds us of L/Uniform's use of French canvas on its more functional bags, but on a bigger scale. We used a Shaker-inspired approach where bags are hung from hooks. There's an association with everyday market life because some of these bags are specifically made for bringing to the market."
