    Officine Universelle Buly’s shop in Tokyo represents an architectural extravagance—a space that embodies the bridges built by Buly be- tween eras and cultures. This audacity was rewarded with two prizes at the 2018 Frame Awards. One half of this bisected store is straight out of 19th-century France: marvellously refined wooden or- naments—pillars with helicoidal engaged columns, candelabras with their bobeches, dentil frieze, cornice, and coffered ceiling—are on display, like a Haussmanian facade.
    The catalog is the cornerstone of the brand’s universe, according to Victoire de Taillac: “The magically illustrated Buly catalog is a gospel that tells the story of the brand’s universe, both material and immaterial. It is entirely conceived and designed in French. Find out more the catalogue in the Beauty of Time Travel.
    To celebrate the opening of the second Buly store, and the first outside France, Touhami refrained from reusing the codes defined for the rue Bonaparte in their entirety. “We need to innovate! The space does dis - play French ornamental elements such as a mural inspired by a me- dieval pharmacy in Burgundy, which took a specifically mandated decorative painter weeks to design.
    On the way to this floral cabinet, the visitor needs to walk through one of the Saintonge Officine’s cupboards with a hidden door. For Ramdane Touhami, this room ‘‘en enfilade’’ brings a slight fantasy atmosphere. Like the wardrobe in Narnia, it is a frontier between two worlds. After a short journey, a majestic—yet intimate—office presents its outdated walls to the eye: casts, frames, and plaster busts bring their company to the preserved beauty of thousands of herbs suspended in a sky of flowers

    The Beauty of Time Travel

    The Work of Ramdane Touhami and the Agency Art Recherche Industrie for Officine Universelle Buly

    This book explains how a vintage brand transformed into an international success story. The key ingredients include: integrity, attention to detail, and an insatiable curiosity for the world.

    49.90 € Price incl. VAT

    The Beauty of Time Travel is a definitive look into the process of constructing a renowned global brand from the bottom up. It all started with a Balzac novel, a flea market find, and a jolt of creative inspiration. Fast-forward to the present day and Officine Universelle Buly has grown to become a true heavyweight in the beauty industry. Sold in almost every corner of the world, co-founder Ramdane Touhami infused an appreciation for all things vintage with a spirit of conquest and innovation to offer a coveted-catalogue of premium products—often slightly quirky, but always elegant, refined, and delightful.

    So how was a forgotten brand from the 19th-century revived and transformed into one of the most loved names of today? And what exactly underpins this unprecedented retail concept? Presented by its protagonists, The Beauty of Time Travel studies the meticulous work carried out by creative entrepreneur Touhami along with his agency Art Recherche Industrie. It dissects the Buly universe from A to Z, looking at it’s appetite for reinventing traditions whilst revealing the stories, tricks, and (almost) all its secrets.
