Paradis Barbares by Christian Lacroix Maison
The 2019 Spring Summer Collection of Christian Lacroix Maison is an invitation to a mysterious, esoteric and phantasmagorical world. From soft colours to strange animals, stationary to delicate porcelain, let’s embark to a land with “no straight lines in nature”.
To present the collection, Christian Lacroix Maison used the troglodyte villas of Jacques Couëlle above Grasse (France). “Paradis Barbares” fits perfectly well into the private rooms designed by Garouste and Bonetti.
The collection, designed by Sacha Walckhoff, brings us to a mysterious imaginary world. The journey will stop at “Bois Paradis”, a two-tone panorama depicts an original garden with fairytale fauna; “l’Eden”, a print with leaves and a Japanese wallpaper; “Bosquet”, a woven wool rug that will lead us to “Cueillette” and its berries laid out on velvety cotton, symbol of the nature’s generosity.
Don’t be lazy because the next steps of our trip will guide us to “Les Messagers”, woven butterflies then off to “les Rosales”, a jacquard embroidered with hydrangeas and wild roses sewn with gold thread.
“Les Centaurées” is a unique wallpaper with shimmering metal-stamped thistles, followed by “le Pas des Anges” preceding “l’Aveu”, a woven Persian mashrabiya before a paved “Pietra Dura” alleyways, another beautiful rug leading to “l’Entrelacs” wall hanging.
Finally the voyage ends after the discovery of “Herbariae”, a wallpaper covered with a bouquet of narcissus, lotuses and poppies.
Herbariae is also the name of a fine porcelain collections produced by Vista Alegre for Christian Lacroix Maison. The neo-classical freshness is inspired by poppy, narcissus, lotus flower, dahlia and thistle and is presented in either a black and white duo and also a soft pink and yellow combination.
The full Spring/Summer collection is also a feast for a beautiful range of stationary featuring an imaginary world where mysterious animals and phantasmagorical flora are living in harmony.
