Housed in the former stables of the Hôtel de Rohan, in the heart of the Marais district, the Centre d’Études Picasso is an exceptionally rich intellectual laboratory. Opened in 2025, this 720 m² space is dedicated to bringing together and protecting more than 200,000 archive items (letters, photographs, manuscripts) .
The challenge for architect Pascal Grasso was to transform this 18th-century utility space—characterised by low ceilings and paved floors—into an international research centre. The challenge was to establish a dialogue between the historical robustness of the building and the delicacy of Picasso’s work, while meeting the strict requirements of conservation and reading comfort for researchers.
To bring Pascal Grasso’s vision to life, where light becomes the main building material, Kollectors put all its expertise in custom design and manufacturing to work. The collaboration crystallised around narrative and geometric lighting solutions:
Kollectors’ work has transformed a storage space into a true sensory showcase. The result is a perfect balance between technique and emotion:
A collaboration between Kollectors & Pascal Grasso.
