T
he French word for "seashell,"
Coquillage, is also the name of a unique
accessory and home furniture boutique
with a coastal casual vibe in Downtown
Sarasota. "European coastal chic is what I call it,"
says owner Melanie Ann Denicourt.
The distinctive style of Coquillage is a blend
of Old World elegance and the casual beach
lifestyle. Bleached woods, weathered antique
finishes and muted tones of greys, taupes, blues
and greens create an almost ethereal, serene
atmosphere. While the Coquillage style has a
casual feel, it is more refined than the popular
shabby chic look. The furniture pieces appear
to be treasured antiques rather than flea market
finds. Surprisingly, their furniture is not old but,
actually, new reproductions. Many of Denicourt's
suppliers use finishing techniques passed down
for generations, which accounts for the authentic,
aged patinas. For unique home accents and
interior design services, visit Coquillage.
