Marie Christophe crystal hanger and the gorgeous creations at Pierre-Louis Mascia.!!!

Marie Christophe’s latest  custom creation  for Jean-Louis Deniot, weaves wire with whimsy to create the most gorgeous wood and crystal branch light fixture!

The beauty of nature held in stillness.  This is where French artistry meets the poetry of home.

Elevate your space with the timeless beauty of French sculptor Marie Christophe. This custom sunflower, delicately crafted in wire and ceramic, floats above the fireplace like a golden whisper of Provence—elegant, airy, and unforgettable.

Paired with simple  slender wire birds perched  in quiet conversation as if paused mid-flight.  And with the candles,  the composition becomes a living still life—refined, romantic, and effortlessly luxurious.   A statement piece designed to transform your home into art.

Completely and madly in love!!!

This new chandelier feels like a whisper of waves, of salt air, of endless summer evenings—suspended in light.

This is more than a chandelier. It is a masterpiece that embodies the elusive beauty of Villa Mabrouka itself: a house of luck, a home of dreams, a world at the edge of the world.

A tribute to  the eternal allure of Saint Laurent’s Tangier.

My Love Of Yellow!

These pillows will add the perfect pinch of bliss to any space.
Add a touch of warmth and sophistication to your space with Cloves, our stunning velvet pillow in a radiant shade of red. This vibrant hue captures the essence of cozy winter evenings and passionate design, making it the perfect accent piece for any room.

Discovering this property truly changed my life. My brand has always been a bouquet of joy — a celebration of color, craftsmanship, and the magic of storytelling through space, style, and blooms.

The secret to success in real estate—and in life, really—is the ability to see potential before anyone else. That same spark led me to create the gardens that started my dialogue with flowers.

From 1997 to today, a  thread of beauty and purpose weaves through every petal, every detail, and every creation and all of this beauty is showcased in my greenhouse, flower shed and shop.

Spellbound by the unveiling of these exquisite crystal serpent lamps — the latest collaboration between French sculptor Marie Christophe and designer Pierre-Louis Mascia, revered for his sumptuous printed silks and unmistakable elegance.

Each lamp is hand-sculpted in Christophe’s signature wirework, its serpentine form alive with a mosaic of green, red, and blue crystals that shimmer in conversation with candlelight.

Beneath a bespoke Mascia shade, every curve becomes a whisper of myth reborn — sculpture, light, and couture entwined.

Paris always inspires.  Just returned from Paris and I loved seeing the bird sculptures of Marie Christophe in this chic apartment in Paris

The garden is my heart’s quiet muse- every bloom a poem, every whisper of fragrance, that fills my gardens at my lavender flower farm at Jo’s Farms.  There’s a kind of magic in a meandering garden—the way it reveals itself slowly, petal by petal, path by path. There is a quiet kind of wandering that leads you exactly where you’re meant to be. That quiet search led me here, to this little two-acre haven I now call home.

At Jo’s Farms, my lavender flower farm, every space I create invites you to wander, discover, and fall in love.

And now… the old aviary reimagined as my potting shed!

Welcome to my flower filled world — where décor, blooms, and style entwine and quiet muses of beauty are reborn.

Here, in my new potting shed, nature dresses the room in whispers of scent and color; every bloom, every vessel, every still life, every vignette tells its own story. A charming haven where flowers and textiles truly dress the room by blending fresh and dried florals, curated décor.  Every corner blooms with beauty — charming coveted handcrafted creations and decor from Europe mingle with delicate petals — inviting you to live and decorate with effortless charm

Step inside, and let the blooms surround you — gracefully, timeless, and alive with charm. It is here where floral design meets creative display. 

In true Deniot fashion, it’s layered with drama and elegance—bold gestures balanced with refinement, always intentional, always captivating.

 Within this remarkable setting, Marie Christophe’s sculptural lighting takes center stage.

The custom swan chandelier and sconces are nothing short of breathtaking—luminous, graceful, and exquisitely detailed. They strike that rare balance between grandeur and delicacy, as if lifted from a modern fairytale. Each swan feels alive with quiet poetry, bringing a sense of movement and softness to the space.

Deniot’s signature approach is unmistakable here—grand yet intimate.

Our lavender fields are only the beginning. From the shop to the greenhouse, the flower shed to the newly  imagined potting shed, each space is designed as part of a shop-and-stroll experience—where fresh and dried flowers mingle with beautiful objects and textiles gathered from Europe and beyond.

You move through them as you would a garden, each turn revealing something unexpected .Each corner of the property has found its purpose. The casita, now my light-filled shop, the A-frame barn, transformed into my flower shed, a greenhouse, our magnificent welcoming space.

And now… the old aviary reimagined as my potting shed!

To commission such a work is not simply to acquire an object. It is to participate in a story. A dialogue between artist and collector. A gesture of appreciation for craftsmanship, patience, and vision.

And when it finally finds its place, it does more than illuminate a room—it becomes part of your life, your space, your story.

For his opening of his new Milan boutique, Pierre-Louis Mascia commissioned  French sculptor Marie Christophe to  create two extraordinary Baccarat crystal chandeliers—to take center stage.

Marie and I first dreamed up this piece nearly a year ago,  I am completely and madly in love with this new masterpiece!!!!!

Villa Mabrouka, set high on Tangier’s cliffs, the legendary retreat once offered Yves Saint Laurent his private escape between continents

Now, that magic takes form. Marie Christophe unveils an extraordinary chandelier conceived and inspired by Villa Mabrouka,  Yves Saint Laurent’s fabled seaside escape in Tangier.  Her latest creation inspired by the villa’s poetic spirit. Handcrafted in a beautiful palette of two blues, green, and deep Bordeaux, the chandelier evokes the shimmer  and shifting light of the Mediterranean sky and the  tranquil lushness and verdant calm of the surrounding gardens.

In Jean-Louis Deniot’s latest, an opulent palace conceived for a member of the Qatari royal family and unveiled and beautifully showcased  in Vogue Arabia.

This new project with Jean-Louis Deniot, featuring extraordinary custom creations by Marie Christophe, brings me back to a place I’ve never forgotten—Deauville.

Years ago, I was completely taken by the  effortless glamour of Deauville. Known as the Riviera of Parisians, Deauville has a quiet kind of luxury, but what stayed with me most was the poetry of it all—the long stretch of sandy beach, the iconic striped parasols, the charming cabines de plage, and that beautiful 1920s wooden boardwalk. And the seashells… truly the most beautiful I’ve ever seen.

There’s a distinct Belle Époque spirit in this project that echoes those memories.

We’re thrilled to introduce our latest Turino Lantern for my client,  inspired by the original designed for what’s been called “the most beautiful room ever created”—a palazzo in Turin, Italy.

The lantern’s beautiful colors Saphire, Vert, Blu Vert, Indian wood, Ambre and Yellow beads are pure magic—will no doubt transform this room into a reflection of art and spirit.

Add one of these bespoke creations to your home and let it reveal the true soul of your space. I always say: It shows the soul of who lives there.

Pierre-Louis Mascia × Marie Christophe

This was the scene last year… a custom flower chandelier shimmering with transparent crystal flowers that appear to bloom in air, and crystal hangers, each a sculptural beauty that elevates the garments they hold.

Like a dash of spice that instantly transforms your decor.

Add a touch of warmth and sophistication to your space with Cloves, our stunning velvet pillow in a radiant shade of red. This vibrant hue captures the essence of cozy winter evenings and passionate design, making it the perfect accent piece for any room.

Next month,  April 2026, Pierre-Louis Mascia unveils his new Milan boutique — a luminous sanctuary for refinement, movement, and art.

Known for transforming fabric into poetry, Mascia invites visitors into a space where emotion takes shape through texture, tone, and silhouette.

It is here, at his new boutique that he will also unveil two new custom chandeliers sculpted  by Marie Christophe, dripping with transparent crystals and around them, ten delicate crystal flower hangers will punctuate the boutique, sculptural invitations to discover the new Spring–Summer 2026 collection.
