Double Bouquet Of Beauty
What’s more beautiful than one Marie Christophe chandelier? Two, of course! Apparently French beauty guru Frederic Fekkai thought so – he commissioned her to create a pair of custom Lustre Rose chandeliers to illuminate a dining table in his estate in the South of France. You can see it in Architectural Digest and L’Officel de la Mode.
Swaddled In A Bed Of Straw
This bejeweled beauty from Marie Christophe arrived swaddled in a bed of straw. Such a pretty surprise!
Jean-Louis Deniot And Marie Christophe
“I decided to go through every single cliché of a French country house,” Deniot says. What makes the French country house is the law of opposites,” Deniot says. “It’s what makes it decadent, not to be taken seriously, and user-friendly.” To that end, Jean-Louis commissioned Marie Christophe to create a lovely sheep in wire adorned with white and black ceramics. It stands proudly in front of stacks of Hermès boxes which create a vibrant orange sculpture in the sitting room off the main bedroom suite of Jean-Louis Deniot’s country house 30 miles outside of Paris. You can read all about it in the September issue of Elle Decor magazine!!!
Visit Memories If Not Places
Shell-Bougainvillea brings summer home, evoking memories of happy days lying by the cold, blue sea. The silk and merino textile, handwoven, hand dyed and hand appliqued, is dove grey, oatmeal and lilac with shots of cobalt blue, fuchsia, scarlet and mustard.
Colossal Candleholder
Marie Christophe’s colossal candleholder is a shapely sculpture, with or without the candle.
Calming Colors
Adam & Viktoria’s beautiful patterned velvet pillows in gorgeous hues to drive away the Tuesday blues!
Phoebe, I Saw It First!
Phoebe’s (Phoebe Philo for those of you don’t know know) Paris flat is as chic and fabulous as the clothes she created for Celine …she was the creative director of my favorite fashion label, Celine from 2008-2018. Of course, I think I have wonderful taste, and this was reaffirmed when I found out that she purchased two of these limited edition hand woven Tibetan wool Ryan McGinness rugs for her Paris flat which was featured in Vogue US during the time I was representing Ryan’s limited edition rug collection! It is the same Ryan McGinness rug that I own!! It’s such an amazing artwork woven into life. I’m not surprised that she fell in love with its graphic, figurative, and stylized imagery because it’s loaded with “Where’s Waldo?” whimsy.
Vie Parisienne–So French And So Fabulously Chic!
There’s just something about French women — the way they dress is completely understated yet always chic. They look exotic and glam by simply slinging a silk scarf around their necks. So I’m not surprised that Marie Christophe, my favorite Frenchwoman, designed these wonderfully witty wall sculptures to hold scarves!
More Homework Please
If only all schools looked like this! Shirin Von Wulffen, co founder of Bastide and the wife of French hairstylist Frederic Fekkai, posted this beautiful photo of their son studying under an enormous custom chandelier Marie Christophe created for their home in the South of France. All I can say is : More homework please!
Great Pieces Look Wonderful Wherever You Put Them
Marie Christophe’s Hibou lamp made a cameo appearance in Traditional Home’s feature on London interior designer, Suzy Hoodless. The Hibou lamp isn’t exactly traditional, but it proves that great pieces look wonderful wherever you put them.
