In January 2016 exhibited for the first time at Maison et Objet Paris, Memoir earned buzz through the showcase of their first four pieces: the Secret cabinet, the Lust chaise-longue, the Vanity Mirror and Ostentation folding screen.
With a sophisticated and a timeless personality, Secret Cabinet is the result of the involvement of handcrafted white marble into individual and unique pieces arranged radially; and the gold in sheet form, ends up inside, praising this piece. The piece is based on a gilded brass base promoting its strength, elegance and stability.
Lust is an opulent chaise-longue that stands for its hand-whickered work. Upholstered in sumptuous white velvet over a polished gold brass base this chaise invites you to evasion.
The Vanity Mirror evokes the divine and the sublime through the reflection of the beauty while it is been contemplated. This metamorphic collection goes through 5 different leaf-shaped mirrors, suiting the beauty reflection to endless spaces and atmospheres.
In gold leaf and marble, Ostentation Folding Screen appears as representation of luxury and refinement. Their pieces gently joined together, as if suspended, promote the lightness of this piece.
