The Refurbishment
Founded seven decades ago, Carita has always been celebrated for attracting a clientele of unparalleled prestige. The Maison de Beauté at 11 Faubourg Saint-Honoré was inaugurated in the presence of the Duchess of Windsor and a distinguished guest list of 3,000 individuals from the crème de la crème of Parisian society.
The Maison de Beauté’s breathtaking refurbishment owes its revival to the brilliance of architects Sophie Thuillier and Cristiano Benzoni, who reimagined the premises to transcend Carita’s already exceptional heritage. The result is a tactile and sensory experience where contemporary purity blends seamlessly with charm, resulting in an awe-inspiring architectural style that is both monumental and unforgettable.
The various spaces within the Maison de Beauté are connected by light-filled, airy walkways leading to the central courtyard, the Carré Coliseum, offering a unique architectural experience that promises or recalls the exceptional skincare experience of Carita.
