Sycamore trees have always graced the former French Concession and provided inspiration for the namesake of the petite boutique opened by Laetitia Charachon in 2006 on Yongfu road. Since then, it has relocated a couple of streets deeper into the historical Normandie Apartments. The boutique is famous for fine porcelain cutlery and the marble and jade artifacts that are designed especially for Platane in collaboration with Chinese artisans.
