Mama Shelter is a collection of lively, unique, and quirky places around the world, with in the USA, an outpost in Los Angeles. Created by the Trigano family, Mama Shelter aims to settle in the very heart of the cities it falls in love with and offer its guests a unique experience through design.
I visited the location in Marseille, designed by Philippe Starck. It’s a remarkably fun concept, and I especially fell in love with the cactus patio.

For more than 70 years, the house has been crafting magical couture pieces in their atelier at 30 Avenue Montaigne in Paris. Christian Dior has made this location a legendary address since the first collection in 1947. Behind its new flagship, the House of Dior inaugurates a permanent exhibition in an extraordinary gallery, independently of its boutique. Mr. Dior wanted to be an architect; the building and the museum pay him a beautiful tribute today.
The staging is astonishing. A circular staircase at the entrance showcases 452 dresses and 1,422 accessories, all 3D printed. Bags, shoes, perfumes, and small objects: so many testimonies of the Dior style materialized to elaborate this Diorama.
