Solenne Atelier

The room

A tailor’s loft, now a wrapping table.

Mara Elling opened Solenne in 2019 after ten years at a paper shop on Grand Avenue. She wanted a room where a host could leave a list and come back to a finished sideboard.

Layered sheets of patterned paper in floral and geometric prints
Paper is bought in short runs. When a pattern is gone, it is gone.

The room is in the West Loop. The street number is sent when a table is held, not posted for walk-ins. There are no walk-ins.

Two people wrap. The table is long enough for a host’s list and nothing else. Music stays off unless you ask. Coats go on a single hook by the door.

We wrap for households. Dinners, birthdays, weddings, baby brunches, and December. If you need fifty identical desk gifts for an office, this is the wrong room.

Hours run Tuesday to Saturday, 10 to 6. In December we add Sunday from 12 to 4. Monday is closed, including the week of a holiday.
