In 04, Chairman Michel Ducros revamped the quaint establishment that Auguste Fauchon had founded in 1886, propelling the company towards the height of stylish decadence. A multi-faceted store concept, monochrome graphic identity, pink interiors and new product lines were only the icing on the cake.

The patisserie showcases innovative desserts of all colours and shapes, embellished with metallic gold, white and cocoa buttons, and leopard print éclairs. It was obvious that their food was moving into new territories when design bible Wallpaper crowned these éclairs Best Pastry in their 2009 Design Awards.
