Trouvé

Mallet is building a retail showroom at our offices in SODO! We are calling it Trouvé..."Found" in French.
We are filling the space with found vintage objects from Europe, as well as making custom furnishings from the Mallet shop. We want to differentiate ourselves by being able to offer our clients and the interior design community a place to buy unique interesting pieces for various projects, i.e., lighting, casework, mantels, etc.

Here are a few teasers for what you'll be able to find in our upcoming space and Trouvé pop-up store this fall.

A Moveable Feast...

In May, PBS Boston shot an episode of A Moveable Feast with two local celebrity chefs, Maria Hines from Tilth, Golden Beattle and Agrodolce and Holly Smith from Café Juanita at Mallet Kitchen.

It was a great way to kick off Mallet Kitchen and it's purpose: To support Mallet's core business of designing and building unique restaurants. We want to offer Mallet Kitchen as a place for chefs to test menus, host investor dinners and special events. Mallet Kitchen is also a great place to rent for photo shoots and private culinary events.









When in Rome...




In July, Eric took an exploratory inspiration trip to Italy...stay tuned for what we can imagine and build...
 
An entryway is not just a functional passage way, it can be an intriguing beginning to an experience.
 

 

 


Let's be honest...it's all about the FOOD...mangia, mangia!
