The Colombian designer unveils a unique sensory and artisanal experience in Paris.

Under the luminous glass roof of Le <a href="https://www.lofficiel.com/shopping/le-bon-marche-rive-gauche-accueille-le-meilleur-de-l-esprit-californien" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Bon Marché Rive Gauche</a> , Colombian designer <a href="https://www.lofficiel.com/fashion/carthagene-avec-johanna-ortiz" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Johanna Ortiz</a> has created an unexpected, enchanting, and thrilling setting: La Plaza . Since April 26, and for four months only, Paris has been opening up to a sensory interlude straight from the sunny lands of Colombia. This ephemeral space is not just a simple installation: it is a vibrant tribute to the human warmth, Latin joy, and precious craftsmanship that permeates the brand&#39;s DNA. In a 220-square-meter space, the designer transforms the codes of the Latin American market into an elegant, poetic, almost dreamlike setting. We enter here as if entering a waking dream, lulled by the familiar sounds of a Colombian square at dusk, the vibrant colors of the stalls, and the living materials that tell the story of ancestral know-how. The trail opens with a scene inspired by the entrance to a local market, like a promise of a journey. At the center stands a plant sculpture: a majestic wax palm, evocative of the Cocora Valley, standing proudly between sky and ground, like a totem of identity. Around it, the market comes to life: baskets overflowing with tropical fruits, armfuls of colorful flowers, heady-scented coffee, and lush plants invite you to stroll, contemplate, and discover. But La Plaza is also a fashion showcase. Johanna Ortiz unveils an exclusive ready-to-wear capsule collection, an ode to sunny femininity, summer lightness, and natural elegance. The fabrics—linen and cotton—are chosen for their nobility and fluidity, the prints for their vibrant cheerfulness. The collection radiates, free and refined, like a late-afternoon stroll on a distant coast.

A world of desirable objects revolves around this collection, designed to prolong the experience. Sunglasses handcrafted with LGR, olfactory candles created with Bon Parfumeur, and joyful and quirky pickleball kits by Recess: each piece is a bridge between Colombia and Paris, between craftsmanship and contemporary design. Even the flavors join the party, with Quindío coffee and VAST chocolates in special editions, the quintessential taste of the designer&#39;s native country. Far from being limited to aesthetics, Johanna Ortiz infuses it with a sincere commitment. The Litoral organization is invited to showcase the work of artisans from Colombia&#39;s Pacific coast. A craftswoman from Cali will weave on-site, in front of Parisian visitors, the living thread of a tradition passed down from generation to generation. The Plaza Johanna Ortiz is not a static setting, but a breath, a breath, a celebration. It embodies that rare alliance of culture, fashion, and emotion. It is an ode to the beauty of gesture, to the energy of people, to the joy of creating, giving, and sharing. A place to experience like a celebration. To feel like an inner sun. To discover like a declaration of love to Colombia.
