Holiday Café

Created in 1946, Holiday magazine is recognized in the United States for its journalistic rigor and innovative creativity. Its editorial line is innovative: send a writer-photographer duo on an expedition to an exceptional place to deliver their vision without artistic direction, without an imposed editorial line. Renowned authors like Joan Didion, Jack Kerouac, and Truman Capote have engaged in the exercise.

In 2014, 37 years after the last publication, Franck Durand (a Parisian artistic director) relaunched the magazine with panache and continued its history. He expanded the original project by creating a "echo place" dedicated to this traveling spirit. The Holiday Café is designed as a cosmopolitan aesthetic anchorage. The varnished wooden wall panels evoke the Riva boats of Venice, the bar counter the aesthetics of certain New York diners, the white lacquered wooden facade the Parisian facades.
