The 12th of September 2017, Benjamin Moore celebrated its arrival in France. During a special evening event, creators, architects and designers gathered in our store at the 126 boulevard Haussmann, especially decorated for the event.

We took the opportunity to ask eight pillars of the Benjamin Moore community, to know what this first store opening in France represents for them.

“I admit that I was really surprised to learn that Benjamin Moore wasn’t present yet in France. There was a place to take ! We couldn’t let go such a great opportunity. Now Benjamin Moore is in France and I’m very happy about it !”

Igor Omelchuk, President of Benjamin Moore France

“Finally having a Benjamin Moore store in Paris means a lot of things for us ! Our paint brand, leader on the American market, renown worldwide for its innovation, its design and its huge color palette, targets every big city which benefits of a high-level commercial environment. We now have the possibility to offer our services to the designers community, consumers and professionals from one of the most surprising cities in the world. So we are very proud to be in Paris!”
