Chinese Lantern of My Dreams!
Marie Christophe just designed this Murano glass, magnificent birdcage lantern for a very special house.
It will hang in the dining room in a very special house in Ojai, California!
I’m excited to tell you that Marie Christophe and Marie-Helene de Taillac are collaborating on a luxury jewelry collection.
The jewelry, which will feature De Taillac’s signature rainbow of semiprecious stones set in yellow gold created with Marie Christophe’s astonishing sculptures, is like a chic French fairytale.
The new sensational window display at Dior in Paris didn’t disappoint.
Dior’s enchanted forest themed windows complete with flowers, birds and bees was simply enchanting!
J’ADORE
Marie Christophe’s most famous pieces are the chandeliers, bees sconces and sculptures she created expressly for the Christian Dior boutiques in Paris, France.
I discovered Marie Christophe on the streets of Paris in 1999 at a gallery in Paris called En attendant les Barbares.. it was love at first sight. My heart skipped a beat. I inquired who the artist was and contacted her immediately. It has been more than twenty four years since I discovered Marie Christophe. She has been twisting and sculpturing many, many, wire masterpieces ever since.
Baby Dior, Paris
I just adore the J’Adore chandelier in opaline crystal for baby Dior Paris!
Returned from Paris to find one beautiful Iris blooming in my garden!
And this beautiful seashell from Paris !
What better way to invite summer to a day on the beach with Marie Christophe’s seashore shell sculptures.
My own carefully curated collection, of course, revolves around the artists I represent.
I fill my rooms with the work of Marie Christophe, Adam & Viktoria and Bonita Ahuja, reveling in the chic comfort it brings to my eye and soul.
But they also adorn many showrooms and our client’s homes too!
Marie Christophe’s wirework sea shells bring the beach right to you.
Created for Holly Hunt, but you can commission some, too!
Haute Couture
I love fashion and I must admit I have a thing for dress forms and dried flowers!
WIRE MENAGERIE
I was looking through my files and fell in love with Marie Christophe’s life-size sculptures for the Musee de la Mode all over again. She made them in 1998 — can it really have been that long ago?
The peacock strutted for Chanel; the giraffe loped for Issey Miyake; the swan swanned for Jean-Paul Gaultier; the hare hopped for Yohji Yamamoto; the ostrich sashayed for Christian Lacroix; and the rooster crowed only for Comme des Garcon. Magnifique!
Floral Fashions
Everything I do is wrapped up in nature. Flowers are deep rooted in my heart and my work. My latest passion project is accessorizing my vintage dressmaker’s models with lavender-laden bouquets of dried flowers and feature artistically arranged petals and blooms.
Marie Christophe’s wirework mannequins have always been an inspiration to me, as you can see in my new collection of floral fashion dress forms.
I had a lot of fun dressing up her sculptures with my dried-flower arrangements for your enjoyment.
Take a tropical vacation … Marie Christophe’s Palmier candleholder is your tour guide.
My latest creation — Vintage linens embellished with a silk insert of a bouquet, a tiny pearl and a dried dahlia flower from my garden– puts all of my passions in one art piece.
I love it when my clients share the joy our pieces bring to them. In this case, interior designer Andra Birkerts of Wellesley, Massachusetts sent me photos of a custom Marie Christophe light fixture we created that she just installed in a client’s home.
The custom piece, which has globe-like balls embellished with clear crystals, opal crystals and crystal flowers of several sizes, gets super sparkle power from the wall of windows it hangs in.
