Café Shin Marais, the third Paris café from founders Shin Eun Jung and Julien Sebbag, was completed in 2026 at 115 rue de Turenne. Designed by Uchronia, it brings together references to the founders’ earlier cafés and adds a screening room with programming conceived by Eun Jung.
Café Shin Marais, the third Paris café from founders Shin Eun Jung and Julien Sebbag, was completed in 2026 at 115 rue de Turenne, adding a dedicated screening room to a skylit café designed to bring together features of the pair’s first two locations. The project, designed by Uchronia under the direction of Julien Sebban, extends the café’s hospitality concept into a separate space for films and other moving images.
The Marais café’s main room is nearly 4 meters (13 feet) high and receives daylight through a series of skylights. Customers enter through an arch leading toward the counter; high tables and bench seating become visible farther inside. A curved mirrored pendant hangs near the center of the room, reflecting the natural light.
Uchronia describes the interior as a blend of the founders’ earlier cafés: an unfinished floor refers to the original Café Shin on rue des Petites Écuries, while brickwork recalls the second location near the Palais-Royal. The design team said those references were brought together in one space, rather than reproduced as separate rooms.
After ordering, customers can remain in the main café, go to the terrace or use a separate screening room, called the “chill area” in the project description. A large blue platform faces a white wall used for screenings. Programming conceived by Eun Jung includes Korean films, archival footage, landscapes and more free-form visual sequences, according to Uchronia’s description shared with Daily Coffee News.
A Screening Room Extends Café Shin
The new room gives Café Shin Marais a distinct feature beyond its café seating and terrace. It provides a setting for customers to watch films or visual material while sitting or lying on the platform, alone or in groups. The project description presents this as a quieter, more contemplative use of the café alongside its social spaces.
The format also continues a design pattern across the three locations: each has a feature that shapes how customers spend time there. The first café included a retreat inspired by a Korean jjimjilbang; the Palais-Royal location had a listening room and photo booth. At the Marais café, Uchronia says, moving images take the role that sound played at the second location.
For customers, the stated aim is to support visits that last beyond a quick coffee, including lunch and afternoon stays. That description comes from the design team; the available project material does not provide customer data or explain how the screening room will be used day to day.
Three Cafés, One Design Thread
Eun Jung and Sebbag began working together in 2020, collaborating on restaurants and temporary menus at venues including Créatures, Forest and Micho, according to Uchronia. Café Shin later became a more permanent expression of their shared approach to food and hospitality.
The Marais project builds on the first Café Shin, on rue des Petites Écuries, and the second location near the Palais-Royal. Uchronia says the three venues were conceived as a continuing project in which cuisine and architecture develop together. The new café’s mix of floor finishes and brickwork makes that continuity visible, while its screening room introduces a different activity from those at the earlier locations.
“People meet there after lunch, share a dessert, order a second coffee in the afternoon, and often end up staying longer than planned.”

Operating Details Still Unreported
The project report gives the address and says the café was completed in 2026, but it does not state an opening date or provide hours, menu details, prices or booking arrangements. It also does not specify the screening schedule, whether events will be open to all customers, or how frequently the room will show films and other material.
Uchronia describes the space’s intended atmosphere and design, but the source does not include visitor figures, customer responses or other evidence about how the screening room is performing. Those details remain unreported.
Screening Programme Will Take Shape
The next public-facing development is the screening programme conceived by Eun Jung, which the project description says will draw on Korean films, archival footage, landscapes and other visual sequences. The report does not give a schedule or name specific screenings, so when particular works will be shown remains unclear.
Customers can use the café, terrace and screening room as described in the project material. Further information about opening hours, programming and access would clarify how the new space fits into regular service.
