Our latest “Best of Raleigh” episode takes us into the world of Paysage, a unique design studio and firm in North Hills, run by Frank Kreinen and his mother, Gigi. This episode offers a glimpse into the multifaceted world of design and how Frank’s diverse experiences enrich Paysage’s offerings.

Paysage, with locations in both Raleigh and Wilmington, stands out with its specially curated collection of items from around the globe. Franck Krynen brings his international perspective, having lived in China and Vancouver, to ensure that each piece in the store is distinct and speaks volumes of style and elegance.

Franck’s journey is a tapestry of varied experiences, from working in the food and beverage industry to diving into the world of design with his mother. His story is one of courage, resilience, and the pursuit of passion, transitioning from one successful career to another.

At Paysage, the focus is on being different. Franck and Gigi travel extensively to places like Paris, New York, Atlanta, and High Point, seeking products that stand out—be it modern, antique, or simply beautiful. This dedication to finding unique pieces makes Paysage a treasure trove for design enthusiasts in Raleigh and Wilmington.

Paysage isn’t just about selling unique items; they offer interior design services that cater to the individual needs and styles of their clients. They see themselves as a second pair of eyes, assisting customers in choosing the right elements that will transform their houses into homes that reflect their personalities and lifestyles.

Franck’s background in food and beverage, especially his deep knowledge of wine, adds another layer to his approach to design. He sees parallels between a good meal enhanced by the right wine and a home elevated by the perfect design elements from Paysage.

At the heart of Paysage’s philosophy is a commitment to customer satisfaction, a principle Franck carried over from his days in the food and beverage industry. This commitment to making every customer happy is what drives Paysage and sets it apart in the Raleigh design scene.
