“Château de Dampierre” is a French classical-style castle located in the hollow of a valley, overlooking the Chevreuse valley, in the commune of Dampierre-en-Yvelines.

It is the subject of a vast rescue plan, which still requires several campaigns of work before it can be fully opened to visitors.

We are currently making all the window decorations and wall hangings on the estate.

140 years after the launch of its first luxury trains, the Orient Express legend continues with the unveiling of the world’s largest sailing ship, Orient Express Silenseas.
This revolution in maritime history is an ambitious undertaking that pushes the limits of what is possible. The result of a unique French partnership between world leader in hospitality Accor and Chantiers de l’Atlantique, a globally leading shipbuilding company, this extraordinary sailing yacht of the future with spectacular interiors will set sail in 2026.

A cosmopolitan icon for over 130 years, the Orient Express is an emblem of timeless luxury. This legendary blend of exotic opulence and extreme refinement will soon be unveiled.

The rebirth of the Orient Express is a technological challenge, meeting scientific and technical criteria, and an artistic and aesthetic challenge where the entire project has been conceived as a total work of art.

For this mythical train, which was once decorated by René Prou, René Lalique, Christofle… and which will travel all over the world, Maxime d’Angeac has combined the most beautiful materials, elm burr, mahogany, velvet, silk, bevelled mirror, crystal…

We are fortunate to have been selected and to participate in this luxurious project in close collaboration with other companies of the living heritage, craftsmen of arts.

We will be participating in the various upholstery works in the bar and restaurant carriages as well as the suite carriages.

The Four Seasons Hotel Firenze – a historic 5-star hotel – located just a stone’s throw from the city’s cultural district, combines old-world luxury with modern comfort,

Set in the largest private park in Florence, dotted with statues, fountains and century-old trees, this ancient Renaissance palace has kept its floors, walls and ceilings covered with frescoes and original architectural details.

We are currently making all the decorations, curtains, sub-curtains – all motorised – , wall hangings, & bedding for this Palace, including a historic Suite.

Once upon a time, three masters artisans dreamt about a collaboration to unite their skills.

In the same time, there was an auction where the incredible Emperess Eugenie’s chair was sold lost among others but Philippe Coudray rescued it from the oblivion.

That chair was a gift to the emperess for her boudoir in the Aigle, the boat which inaugurated the Suez Canal in 1863.

As a serendipity, there was the exhibition « Louvre Couture » held in Paris about the link between creations and their historical inspirations in art ; among which, the mi-century armor and Balenciaga 3D armor dress was the most striking.

Over a brainstorming came the idea of what would order the Emperess Eugenie today to master artisans for her Aigle boudoir ?

As an answer to this question, was born the idea of the flying swinging confident in the continuity with Napoleon III style. It is a piece where past and present meet above the waves.

Our heartfelt thanks to our embroidery partner ATELIER SAFRANE CORTAMBERT Without whom this project would never have seen the light of day

And, of course, to all the ATELIERS PHILIPPE COUDRAY‘s team who brought this seat to life, just as wonderfully as we had imagined it

L’Orangerie du George V: a renaissance in gastronomy

The story of L’Orangerie is first and foremost one of transformation. It is the story of a space whose identity had to be strengthened to match the cuisine of chef Alan Taudon, crowned with two Michelin stars.

—

‘You can create the most beautiful décor in the world, but if it doesn’t work, it’s useless. – Pierre-Yves Rochon

The project therefore began with a technical and functional study, well before tackling the decoration. The Orangerie, a veritable glass box grafted onto the Grande Galerie of the Four Seasons George V, had to be rethought in its entirety: service flow, acoustics, lighting, table layout, etc. ‘Luxury means that you can enjoy the best of both worlds,’ says Pierre-Yves Rochon. The luxury is that you don’t see the service. You only feel the moment.

A concept born of cuisine

The interior design echoes chef Alan Taudon’s vision, which puts the emphasis on plants. So it wasn’t the interior design that dictated the project, but the kitchen that inspired the overall concept.

The choice of materials, colours and layout stemmed from this approach: natural tones (beige, cream, white) to enhance the dishes, wood and marble to structure the space, and bench seating for greater intimacy and comfort. Even the tables were designed especially for the venue, with an organic shape inspired by petals, to match the gestures of the service.

‘The table had to match the chef’s cooking. We designed it so that every element of the service – plates, glasses, cutlery – would fit in perfectly.

A décor that accompanies the culinary experience

One of the major challenges was to soften the acoustics in this entirely glazed volume. A fabric shell, designed by Atelier Philippe Coudray, was installed under the glass roof to absorb sound and create a hushed setting. The lighting, designed in collaboration with Stéphane Carratero, was designed to remain imperceptible, modulating the atmosphere throughout the day.

In this setting, the porcelain tree by Art et Floritude is a structuring element of the décor, but not the central element. This luminous sculpture, made up of 600 hand-crafted porcelain roses and camellias and 10,000 bougainvillea leaves, adds a discreet, poetic presence to the narrative of the space.

‘It’s not a decorative work, but an echo of the spirit of the place. It wasn’t meant to impose itself, but to extend the conversation between nature, light and the kitchen.

Luxury down to the last detail

Pierre-Yves Rochon’s approach does not stop at the most visible elements. Every detail has been carefully considered:

– The glass and bronze display cabinets, designed by Giorgetti and inspired by residential furniture, showcase the crystalware and wine service, in keeping with the gastronomic experience.

– The staff uniforms, in natural tones, blend into the surroundings to reinforce the overall harmony.

– Service accessories, such as trays and bag holders, have been custom-designed to blend in perfectly with the décor.

‘This is true luxury. A place where everything has been thought out so that nothing interferes with the experience.

With this renovation, L’Orangerie is now fully asserting its identity: a sensory setting designed to showcase Alan Taudon’s cuisine and offer an experience where architecture, service and gastronomy merge in absolute harmony.

Each collection is presented in a setting that tells the story of nature, light and femininity specific to the brand. Immaculate cut paper and satin embroidered with gold are used to evoke in a subtle and poetic way the movement of water and the reflection of the singular light of the Kimberley region where, in the Timor Sea, the most beautiful pearls of the world grow. The relief of the coast is evoked through the weaving of a metal mesh which creates a landscape as the background of the collections. The presentation of the collections in the windows has also been redesigned in order to adapt to the new architectural concept and to give the creations the lightness and elegance that distinguish them: we find in the displays the brass of the furniture, the textiles that dress the shop, the curve of the pearls… Flexible and modular, this system of busts and props adapts to all collections and unfolds for the visitor’s viewing pleasure.
