Elegance with a touch of luxury

Pure lines, noble materials and a unique, traditional savoir-faire… In France, contemporary design depends on a multi-secular culture of luxury that helps give birth to the world’s most beautiful interiors. We discover furniture like the Maritime chair with its classic curves (Christian Liaigre), the Bridge Molitor chair by Jean-Philippe Nuel for Henryot that draws inspiration from the iconic Parisian swimming pool, or the strict Inside World oak and ash desk by Noé Duchaufour Lawrance for Ligne Roset. Some designers use either ancestral techniques (the n°3 vase of Pierre Charpin for Sèvres-Cité de la céramique) or ultra-technological methods (the Ato lamp by Patrick Jouin for Kos Lighting).
