A space for objects with stories. And substance.

 

The Reception isn’t a traditional store. It’s a curated gallery of selected objects – fashion, art, design, accessories – all united by one thing: a story worth telling.

We don’t just offer products – we invite discovery. A vintage armchair from a private collection. An unworn pair of sunglasses from the 1980s. A runway jacket from a Paris fashion show. A rare artwork pulled from an archive. Every piece is chosen with intention – for its origin, quality, design, and meaning.

 

Slow Shopping

What we offer is time – for the object, for reflection, for dialogue. We call it slow shopping: an experience that feels more like stepping into a studio than a store. No pressure. No crowd. Just space to explore.

Our concept combines handmade new pieces from European ateliers – made to order only – with outstanding vintage finds, selected for their history, condition, and character. This mix isn’t just aesthetic – it’s part of our commitment to thoughtful, sustainable consumption.

In collaboration with artists, designers, and private collectors, we create an interdisciplinary selection that treats fashion, design, and art as equals. Many of our pieces are one of a kind – and will stay that way.

 

 

Background

Founded by Leonard Grossmann, whose background blends art, fashion, and business. The idea: to build a space beyond the ordinary. A space for people with an eye for substance, not noise. No collections. No cycles. No repetition. Just things that stay with you.

 

Our curatorial philosophy is simple: respectful, refined, relevant.
