Long confined to special occasions, ceramics, porcelain, silverware and crystal are now enjoying renewed favour. Carried by a taste for beauty, a reverence for craftsmanship and the pleasure of gathering, Maison BARNES embraces this momentum through an original made-to-measure tableware concept. Guests may choose from eight visual and emotional signatures, each unfolding within the private salons. Renewed annually, these décors reflect the privileged ties Maison BARNES maintains with some of the most esteemed names in the field: L'Objet, Saint-Louis crystal, pieces by Le Jacquard Français, Christofle and Les Ottomans, alongside the exclusive Louis XIII collection and preloved objects sourced through New York partner Société Design.
SCENOGRAPHIES IN DIALOGUE
Natacha Dassault, founder of Not a Gallery and a committed philanthropist, brings a gaze shaped by art history and by a practice of staging objects within inhabited interiors. Alongside her, decorator and designer Alexandre Donzé Solis composes atmospheres in which a sure command of codes leaves room for the elegance of surprise. Together, they imagine tables that feel vibrant and composed, where harmony emerges through the intelligence of contrasts. Natacha Dassault cultivates a subtle dialogue between great houses and more confidential makers, such as Artel and Maison Poursin. A distinctive sophistication, true to a certain idea of French elegance.
Maison BARNES thus extends its vision of the art of living and entertaining, refining a singular signature in which hospitality becomes an experience, and emotion.
