SATISFY Opens First Flagship Store in Paris

SATISFY has opened its first permanent physical store in Paris. The flagship comprises two mirrored spaces named 'Supply' and 'Fuel Station' on rue de Saintonge in the Marais neighbourhood, opening to the public on Friday, September 4.

Montreuil-based architecture and design studio ciguë designed both interiors in close collaboration with SATISFY founder and creative director Brice Partouche. The project was conceived as a gateway into the brand's world of trail running, music, film, and the outdoors, rather than a conventional running store.

"Together, Supply and Fuel Station are the most complete expression of SATISFY we've ever created," said Partouche. "They're the physical embodiment of the world we've been building for the past eleven years."

The Analogue Philosophy

Partouche emphasized the brand's analogue nature. He stated that a physical space became the purest way to express it, where photography transforms into murals and oil paintings, and products are treated as artifacts. The aim was to create a destination worth leaving home for in an increasingly screen-dominated world.

The two spaces face each other across the street, and crossing between them is intended as part of the visitor experience. Each location serves a distinct purpose.

Inside the 'Supply' Space

The Supply store is anchored by a monumental three-part oil painting by New York-based artist Othelo Gervacio. The artwork draws on natural history dioramas and American West realism, themes that have long influenced the brand's imagery.

The existing shell of the building was largely preserved, with walls keeping their imperfections under a soft grey wash and exposed piping. Materials like Douglas fir, wool felt, and custom cast-zamak pieces made in ciguë's workshop contrast with concrete, wire mesh, and stainless steel.

Curated artifacts selected by Partouche are placed throughout the space. These include rare punk records, vintage magazines, and jewellery. A bespoke lounge chair by Parisian furniture-maker Jean-Baptiste Durand sits beside a second-hand car subwoofer wrapped in automotive carpet. A custom scent was developed in collaboration with Parisian perfume studio ROOM1015.

Inside the 'Fuel Station' Space

Fuel Station takes inspiration from neighbourhood convenience stores, hardware shops, and grab-and-go cafés. The design is flexible, featuring steel shelving, cardboard boxes, and wire-mesh displays.

The space is functional, with water and electrolytes available on tap for refilling flasks and speed cups. A seaweed-based energy gel is produced in the room, and mushrooms are grown on-site, emphasizing a hands-on, tangible approach to nutrition.

The store's opening marks a new chapter for the eleven-year-old brand, translating its digital and product-based narrative into a fully realised physical environment. The dual locations on rue de Saintonge are now open.
