Marie Christophe just designed these beautiful little lanterns, Milles et une Nuit (A Thousand and One Nights), for Jean-Louis Deniot. There are a dozen to accent an outdoor corridor.
I’m so in love with them because it’s so Marie and so Jean-Louis – she decorated it with extra-large ceramics in his signature honey palette of gold, black, white and transparent.
When I discovered Marie Christophe, it was LOVE at first light. She takes a humble material – wire, of all things – and, like magic, creates fairytale, functional art.
I have always looked to France for instruction in matters of elegance as much as a child looks with wonderment and awe the first time she sees something special.
The something special I saw when I was strolling in Paris in 1999 was one of Marie’s chandeliers. It was suspended from the ceiling of a lovely gallery.
My heart skipped beat, and I knew I had to share her whimsical wire works with the world.
She was the first artist I signed; so she and I really started together.
Today’s beautiful custom creation for my client!
Whether it is a specific project or event, we can provide something unique to you!
Let the Sun Shine In
It’s not quite summer yet, but the latest Marie Christophe piece warms my heart as no real rays can.
Her stunning sun sculpture, which gets its blinding bling from ceramics, reminds me once again that the lovely days of summer really are endless.
