Parisian restaurants may still be shuttered, but bakeries and pastry shops have been doing brisk business, dispensing comfort with Septime , who have expanded their reach in recent years with the Clamato , the wine bar Septime La Cave and the laid-back, 10-room guesthouse D’Une Île . The idea to open a pastry shop, though, came only after the duo started families of their own. “Since we’ve both had kids, sweets have taken on new importance in our lives,” says Grébaut. That and, he admits, clients began clamoring for Clamato’s signature dessert, a luscious maple-syrup tart topped with fresh whipped cream . Their sliver of a shop is overseen by the pastry chefs Nesreen Mroueh and Fanny Payre, who also 65 rue de Charonne, Paris, tapisserie-patisserie.fr .

For the past 20 years, the self-taught Japanese artist Shinichi Sawada has sculpted ghoulish ceramic beasts that grimace, glare and gawk. The unglazed works, reminiscent of both Jomon pottery and anime, first garnered international attention at the 2013 Venice Biennale, “Shinichi Sawada” is on view through March 20 at Venus Over Manhattan, 120 East 65th Street, New York City, venusovermanhattan.com .

While working as a lifestyle editor at various German magazines over the past decade, Nora Khereddine would daydream about living among the sort of objects she admired in her writing. “I always had a fantasy of a little shop with an office at the back,” she says. And so, last June, when she came across an ad for a small ground-floor space that was available for lease in Munich, her hometown, she decided, on a whim, to rent it. A month later — spurred on by a desire to support independent makers during the pandemic — she had filled the interior with homewares sourced from across Europe and united by her vision of unfussy beauty: white ceramic vases with crisp, angular silhouettes by the 80-year-old Swiss ceramics company Linck ; comb-back Windsor chairs and simple three-legged stools handcrafted from walnut by the woodworker Fabian Fischer in Freiburg, Germany; undulating elephant-grass baskets designed by the Swiss maker Kathrin Eckhardt and hand-woven in Ghana. The finished space has the feel of an enviably well-decorated apartment, but without being overly precious or predictable — there are also birthday candles made from Lithuanian beeswax with hot pink and bright orange wicks, and vintage cotton-and-wool Berber blankets in Westermühlstraße 21, 80469, Munich. The store is currently offering curbside pickups and virtual appointments via FaceTime and WhatsApp, norakhereddine.com .
