jean-pierre marois
when he attended the inauguration of the baths in 1978 as a teenager, he did not know that 37 years later he would reopen and transform the place into a real place to live, made up of a hotel, a restaurant and 'a night club. in the meantime, he became a fashion photographer in New York, then director and producer or co-producer of films such as Mary by Abel Ferrara, Babel by Alejandro Inaritu, South of the Border by Oliver Stone… it is at the initiative of thomas erber that le gramme meets jean-pierre marois and creates exclusively for the baths, a 33g bracelet engraved imprint polished finish in 925 silver, stamped with a bacchus head, original emblem of the place.
How do you present yourself when people talk about you in your profession?
People often simplify by forming the combination: film producer/hotelier. some focus on my most recent activity which is being the owner of the baths.
as a film producer/hotelier, what is the thing said about you that touches you the most?
whatever my job, the challenge for me is to reach the public, to make an echo resonate. whether it's the baths or a movie. we are here to tell a story, offer an experience and emotions. when people tell me that they had a lovely evening, that the world of the baths resonates with them, that they find the place beautiful, I feel like I have fulfilled my mission.
what matters most in this daily life as a storyteller?
it's about always inventing new things, continuing to tell a story by writing new chapters. you have to succeed in being inventive and creative. This is the best way to continue to attract people.

le gramme is a lifestyle brand for men, it offers essential objects, in your world what is the iconic element, the one that symbolizes you?
it is our bacchus, the emblem of the baths which is a re-interpretation of that of the facade of the place which dates from 1885. we had it redesigned by an illustrator by integrating torchiere sirens echoing those which adorn the porch. our logo is thus at the confluence between something masculine and feminine, between this symbol of celebration, of life and the aquatic dimension obviously characteristic of baths.
and your object the gram, what is it?
This is the 33g bracelet in polished 925 silver. this piece was specially designed for baths, it is recognizable by its engraved bacchus. nicolas ouchenir also calligraphed a sentence inside.
how do you wear it?
I wear it alone, next to a Brazilian bracelet.
If the gram were music for example, what would it be?
it would be a kraftwerk title. a German group, inventor of electronic music which offered very simple and innovative arrangements.
