Maison Pouenat, the alchemy of metal
For 140 years, Maison Pouenat has ruled over a realm where metal becomes docile. Under the vaulted ceilings of their workshops in Moulins, in the Allier region, a hundred different ways of taming steel, copper, and brass come to life. When Jacques Rayet took over this institution in 1995, he could have served merely as its custodian, yet instead opted to reinvent it.
Here, a staircase is not just a staircase, a railing is not merely a railing. Every curve tells a story, every texture is a signature. And when Pouenat metal dances with glass for Cartier or soars into arches for the Hôtel de Crillon, we witness a choreography where raw material becomes eloquent prose.
Veronese, light enhanced by Murano glass
At Veronese, glass has been dancing with light since 1931. Fredie Jochimek, the guardian of this Venetian temple in the heart of Paris, could tell you how each breath of its master glassmakers captures a bit of Italian magic. The chandeliers and lighting fixtures born from their hands are not mere objects; they are luminous shared secrets, glass poems whose whispered radiance lights up the world’s finest interiors.
Maud Ruby, reinventing feathers
By choosing feathers as her medium of expression, Maud Ruby has taken flight. Her Parisian workshop is pervaded by a romantic atmosphere: that of an artist who transforms Nature’s daintiest gifts into bold statements. In her hands, goose feathers become airy marquetry, while ostrich feathers turn into a rippling fresco. These feathers interact with mother-of-pearl, intertwine with wood, defy gravity, but most importantly, they endure – contrary to common belief. The magic worked by Maud lies precisely in endowing an inherently ephemeral material with unexpected longevity.
The Latil Collection is this insatiable quest for substantial beauty. Not beauty that screams, but beauty that lasts. Beauty that, crossing time, whispers even louder to each new generation the French passion for the perfect gesture, simply because it is perfect.
