Founded by two Parisian designers, Sigolène Prébois and Catherine Lévy, Tsé Tsé Associées is one of the most unique independent design brands in the world. Late last year, we visited Siogolène and showroom manager Sandrine at their studio set inside a beautiful two storey building, where the company has been housed for over twenty years.

One enters Tsé Tsé through two giant blue doors, off a grey Parisian street, and opposite an old bakery. The doors are almost a prerequisite for what's to come, a new world made of colour. We are welcomed and guided past the stack of bicycles, up the wooden staircase, creaking with our weight, step edges softened from years of wear.
