ADAM (Paris, Montparnasse) developed from a Montparnasse hardware shop into an art-materials business, responding to the studios around it. Anthropologie offers homeware alongside womenswear through its BHV Marais presence, bringing the American lifestyle retailer into this selection. Bath Bazaar adds linen and home objects through Galeries Lafayette, with textiles and tableware among its household categories.

ADAM opened in Montparnasse in 1898, beginning as a general hardware and drugstore trade before the artist studios clustering around it pulled the business toward fine-art materials — a shift the shop's own history describes as driven by its neighbors rather than a founding plan.

Best for The Montparnasse color merchant that formulated the fixative behind International Klein Blue
