French designer Mathieu Leanner (Mathieu Lehanneur) remade the Molien cafe in the building of the Louvre Museum. The world's largest museum has fifteen restaurants and cafes that are a success, including because of the beautiful views that open from the historical galleries on the second floor.

“When you stand on the monumental Mollyn Staircase, you are surrounded by the world's best collection of paintings, behind the back endless green alleys of Tuileries Park and somewhere near the soul of Gioconda itself soars .... what more can you dream of,” says the designer. In a room with tall ceilings, massive columns and a marble floor, he managed to create a cozy place with a “human face”. The cafe has a huge terrace (230 sq. M.) And an amazing view of the Louvre pyramid. Above the tables at a height of 4.5 meters high lamps on brass "stems". Under the high windows there are comfortable banquettes with white pillows, which look almost blasphemous in this “kingdom of colors”. White furniture sets the rhythm of space and echoes the ten-meter bar of white marble.

Not far from the cafe Mollyn (Mollien) is the Mollen Hall of the same name, where Eugene Delacroix's famous Freedom on the Barricades is displayed. The cafe, updated by Mathieu Leanner, is located in the wing of the Denon Louvre Museum.

Mathieu Leanner skillfully balances on the verge of technological glamor and high-quality reconstruction, suggesting an immaculate understanding of the historical context. Recently, he won, in conjunction with LAN Architecture Agency, an international competition for the renovation of the interiors of the Grand Palais on the Champs Elysées, and his “liquid marble” surprises the public at Châmont Castle. Works Leanner sells Carpenters Workshop Gallery.

Huge lamps create the necessary point of attraction in such a space.
