Venue & History
Founded in 2011, Silencio is a private club dedicated to creative communities. Silencio was designed by director David Lynch, in collaboration with designer Raphaël Navot, architectural agency Enia and light designer Thierry Dreyfus. All the furniture has been custom made for the club by Domeau & Pérès.
The golden light beams contrast with the chiaroscuro that reigns in this 700 m² place. Built like a long film travelling, Silencio enables the discovery of an intimate cinema, a secret blackroom, a leafy smoking room, a photo gallery, a library, a large scene framed with red velvet, a golden corridor and mirror bars.
Located in the heart of historic Paris, the number 142 of the rue de Montmartre is steeped in history. Built in 1883 by architect Ferdinand Bal, the building served as a publishing press for over a century, successively home to leftwing newspapers la France, l’Humanité and l’Aurore. Emile Zola printed there his famous manifest against anti-semitism in 1898, “J’accuse”. 17th century playwright Molière was reportedly buried there, and socialist leader Jean Jaurès was murdered just across the street, in 1914.
In 2007, French electronic-duo Justice recorded their debut album in the building’s basement. Art and History have been co-existing together at 142 rue Montmartre for many decades.
