The Right Pairings

I’m throwing a petite dinner party, so I took inspiration from the 2006 Harper’s Bazaar spread that featured Marie Christophe’s witty centerpieces – gilded wild birdcages that restrained Firsoni’s heels.

My Favorite Patio- Purple and Green Picked Up From Monet

Tabletop Talk

I just picked up a copy of  A La Table Des Designers and was pleased to see that Marie Christophe’s sculptures are the icing on the cake. Makes me want to have seconds – and thirds!

The table is the first thing you see when you enter a dining space; just as stilettoes make a fashion statement, its setting sets the mood for the food.

Spring Birdsong

 Marie Christophe’s light-as-a-feather wireworks, punctuated with crystals or ceramics float in space without invading it. But it was the life size wire horse for Hermes so long ago that captured my heart.

Her delicate wire, bead and crystal work attracted the high end retail sector.  Designer boutiques and designers such  Jean-Louis Deniot, Pierre -Louis Mascia ( devoted  fans )  in Paris, Toulouse, Milan and beyond, keep her busy with orders.. like those beaded chandeliers for Dior, panthers for Cartier, department store Printemps, Musee de la Mode working with floral designer Christian Tortu (she created wire animal mannequins), sculptures for all the Roger Vivier windows, and a colossal LED chandelier for Guerlain’s new boutique Cour des Senteurs in Versailles.. such lightness of being.

She makes the art of beauty a true art of living. We are looking forward to creating a beautifully designed new year for you and yours!

Go shopping in high style with Marie Christophe’s chic crock, who is carrying a green crystal handbag on his back.   This fabulous new crocodile light was created for Beynat et Janniaux Paris (they create all the  crocodile skins for the Vuitton and Hermes bags) and is simply fabulous!

Wise, Whimsical and Wonderous

Marie Christophe’s wide-eyed wire owl just WOW!

Marie Christophe’s latest – little birdie lamps feathered with blue, brown and white ceramics and topped with raffia shades – make me sing of spring, even in the dead of winter.

Flower Motif

It’s spring every season of the year with Marie Christophe’s wire & crystal blooms.

Marie Christophe’s latest  birdie comes with a pretty perch in wooden beads.

Marie Christophe’s sculptural chandeliers grace every room with their presence.

 Experience all the places that feature her magnificent creations.

I’d love to stay with you in each of them. Until we meet and before we say nite, nite, you can see them in Hotel Finca Cortesin in Casares, Spain

Sunny days ahed with Marie Christophe’s beautiful Soleil sculpture.

The colors of Tuscany!  Golden yellows, deep reds and lush greens.

Dress up your decor for fall with the rich hues inspired by the Italian countryside.

My sofa is going to be super excited!

Tiger Eyes!

The most magnificent crystal tiger sculpture

An illuminated sculpture, Marie Christophe’s Bouteille, one of the first lamps she ever spun from wire,  is a timeless accent!

The drive to Taos is always the most majestic.. roads winding between looming mountains, its mesas and rose-colored hills are so stunning this time of year and my favorite time to visit Taos and have dinner at one of my favorite restaurants, The Love Apple!

A pair of sparkling chandeliers by Marie Christophe sets the mood for the good food at The Love Apple.

If you are traveling to New Mexico, I highly recommend a stay in Taos,  dinner at the Love Apple and of course please stop by my new farmshop, Jo’s Farm (www.josfarms.com ) to see the coveted collections I have sourced on my travels to Europe.
