THE RUG IN ALL ITS FORMS

Launched in 2022 by Mélanie Boulch-Mallet, 55 CLOUD designs and manufactures exceptional rugs and carpets. Its boutique, located in the 6th arrondissement, welcomes architects and individuals seeking uniqueness. TEXT BY CAROLINE APPERT

Her rise has been meteoric. Born in Brittany, Mélanie Boulch-Mallet trained at a British Business school and at Esmod Paris, before heading to the United States. Supported by business angels, she created a company there as an agent for European luxury accessories. Upon her return to Paris in 2011, she discovered the art of rugs and the richness of their craftsmanship. Working for a high-end Turkish rug and carpet manufacturer, she contributed to prestigious projects such as Philippe Starck’s Brach Hotel in Paris and Christian Liaigre’s Imperial Treasure restaurant in London. With dreams in her eyes, she founded 55 CLOUD. Every year, she travels through Turkey, Thailand, and Nepal, surrounding herself with the best artisans to innovate and offer rare materials and weavings. With the artist Nadia Barbotin handling the color, she creates a collection and custom designs. After seducing Peter Marino, Luis Laplace, and Sandra Benhamou, she now invites private clients to weave their dreams into one-of-a-kind rugs and carpet.

Inaugurated last October, the 55 CLOUD boutique offers a vast selection of material samples and artisanal techniques to develop the rug or carpet of your dreams.
