French paint company Ressource in June will be opening its first U.S. showroom, located at the D&D Building (979 3rd Ave., Suite 1507), in New York, N.Y.
“We wanted to bring French inspiration to our first showroom in the U.S.,” said Julien Chapuis, CEO Americas. “For us, NYC is seen as the design capital in the U.S. With so many influences from everywhere in the world, Ressource is looking forward to find its place in this city.”
According to Chapuis, visitors can expect to see a comprehensive overview of the Ressource collections from paint to wallpaper, with a special emphasis on the company’s collaboration with interior designer Sarah Lavoine.
“Our goal is to show our full collection of colors, effects and designs,” Chapuis said. “We have more than 940 different colors, a magnificent wallpaper collection, and exclusive paints never seen [stateside].
“We definitely want to share our passion, our history, our culture,” the CEO added. “We are proud to open this showroom in the D&D building where we align with others in the design community who are passionate and have a real desire to promote our brand and our products.”
Lavoine developed a line of 36 “intense, bright, timeless paint shades that bring new life and energy to spaces,” according to Chapuis.
Looking for a shade to brighten up her office, Lavoine created Bleu Sarah – “a perfect balance between blue and green and capable of varying according to the light, Chapuis noted.
Ressource is one of the last independent paint manufacturers in France. Per Chapuis, the company has produced more than 950 hues.
“Our expertise on the composition of traditional paints and lime coatings includes palettes of colors in ‘The Authentic’ – a collection of timeless and contemporary shades ranging from pure whites, egg shells and neutrals to bright, saturated and deep tones,” he said.
Each year, Ressource collaborates with a designer – this includes Philippe Model, Robert Gervais and Serge Bensimon – “in order to inspire new ideas and continuously expand our range of colors,” Chapuis concluded.
