The coral reef as redefined by Marie Christophe! Fabulous isn’t it?
Marie Christophe’s red-hot hand-shaped coral branch wall sconces, made of ceramics for Bruno and Herve’s home in Tangiers are absolutely gripping.
I loved them so much I had to commission a pair for myself!!!
Black Ceramic Lantern, Tangier
My favorite pair of Picasso owls. Because two are better than one!
My field of lavender was inspired by my visits to Provence. I dedicated my lavender field to my beautiful mother whose love of lavender lives on in every row we planted.
Drinking in the scent of the summer landscape last night in my beautiful field of lavender!
Thrilled to share our latest install for a special client!
Marie Christophe’s latest – a sensuously shaped, sculptural and skirted chandelier — is over 6 feet tall and 4 feet wide yet it’s as light and airy as a piece of lace.
Specified for David Kleinberg Design Associates …. for his new home in Tangier!!
Garden blooms and some bling ….flowers from my garden and the sweet tweets of Marie Christophe always brighten my day and create the perfect still life
It’s time to add some bling to your spaces!
Marie Christophe’s creations blend artisan craftsmanship with creativity.
I am in love with this dreamy daybed and the Adam & Viktoria Folklore Bird and Flowers bolster pillow at interior designer’s Jane Smith’s Santa Fe home.
Jane, the author of “Santa Fe, A Sense of Place,” bought the pillow, which is hand-cut hemp hand-stitched on linen, last summer when she visited my shop and lavender flower farm.
Her home and beautiful book is a reflection of her and a love letter to Santa Fe.
Now, you can bring it into your own home: I’ve asked Adam & Viktoria to make a limited-edition run of the bolster.
My fondest memories of my childhood was in the kitchen, surrounded by the delicious Italian meals my mother created and the beautiful table she always set. Her table always had a beautiful tablecloth, a vase of flowers from the garden and, of course, a bottle of wine for lunch and dinner.
Paying justice to what the French say ‘arte de la table’. When it comes to chic, this is how exquisite style can be translated into plates, glasses and table linen.
Virginia Woolf said one of my favorite things about food “ One cannot think well, love well, sleep well, if one has not dined well”.
The table and its setting also sets the mood for good food. I love to rotate different textiles, flowers and little surprises, be it sculptures by Marie Christophe or vintage finds to adorn my table.
Because there’s no such thing as too much of a good design …Trellis, Adam & Viktoria’s more popular patterns, ( and one of my all time favs and featured in Vogue!!) is a sweet flower repeat with Russian influences- block printed on silk taffeta, silk velvet applications and heavy embroidery and available by the yard!
The added embroidery makes the flowers really bloom and the idea of getting to make drapes and table runners and to upholster a chair has even the pillows talking!
Marie Christophe’s creations are always my inspiration!
Flowers, candles and Marie Christophe candleholders are always at my table when I play with flowers and make my floral creations. Hers too!!
Opulence is here!
Surround yourself with luxurious, colorful, personality-filled velvet appliquéd Belgian linen pillows from Adam & Viktoria Sweden for a joyful seasonal home update.
Boldly patterned pillows create a happy, cozy vibe.
When you add texture and pattern, it is like an herb and spice!
I discovered Marie Christophe’s enchanting creations in Paris in 1999 at a gallery called En Attendant les Barbares.
My heart skipped a beat. I was so smitten. I knew I had to share her poetic, wondrous creations with the world. I signed her immediately. The rest, as they say, is history.
All of her creations are inspired by her travels to India, Italy and Morocco
Her creations always bring a sense of expression where every detail tells a sophisticated and personal story.

My niche has always been sourcing one-of-a-kind items that will “make a room sing,” or comprise the perfect tablescape. My inventory ranges from French sculptor Marie Christophe ’s wondrous wire creations and Adam & Viktoria’s hand-dyed velvet appliqué Belgian linen pillows from Sweden to Bonita Ahuja’s hand-dyed, hand-woven textiles from England and one-off collections from Europe no longer in production
Rainbow, Marie Christophe’s newest colossal, colorful creation for my client, truly makes a big statement: It’s nearly 6 feet tall.
I love the trio of birdies perched amid the crystals and beaded branches, flowers and leaves.
I can almost hear them singing of spring!
PaperCity wrote a big feature on Marie Christophe that really captures her artistry and it features one of our favorite projects in which she introduced a trio of shimmering lanterns and chandeliers for a fashionable client’s dreamy palazzo in Turin.
Lisa Fontanarosa, Christophe’s agent in the U.S. explains her client’s work. “Marie has an eye for turning the functional into the extraordinary, and every piece she creates is a fairy tale filled with wonder. ”
Thank you Diane Dorrans Saeks for this beautiful feature!
Influential designers such as Jean-Louis Deniot, Muriel Brandolini, Pierre-Louis Mascia, and Philippe Model are staunch supporters of her work.
Her enchanting beaded lighting hangs in New Delhi mansions, Tangier hillside houses, New York apartments, Paris apartments and ateliers overlooking the Seine.
