Pierre Marie Decorative Dishes and Vide-Poche

A long-time collaborator of various luxury brands, Pierre Marie’s artistic practice combines narration with ornament and finds its full expression in working with master craftsmen. With a background in fashion and creative art direction, his work has found many applications to revive and magnify the tradition of decorative arts. He has in particular developed a passion for the arts of tapestry and stained glass over the years, which are at the heart of his studio’s enterprise. Over the years, Pierre Marie has engaged in a creative dialogue with artisans of varying expertise: stained glass, tapestry, metalwork or glasswork to name a few. This makes for a complex and coherent world, where the ornament serves the object.

Stained glass

Pierre Marie’s encounter with stained glass was instrumental to the evolution of his practice, and has become a central application of the projects carried out by Pierre Marie Studio. Our commitment to work in dialogue with our partner artisan, the Ateliers Duchemin, and with an understanding of the constraints that are inherent to the medium, mirrors our concerted effort of bringing back stained glass in the future of decorative arts.

Rugs & Tapestries

A constant in decorative arts, with a clear practical function of managing interior temperatures, the art of weaving rugs and tapestries presents a natural canvas for a rich visual vocabulary, and as such is at the heart of Pierre Marie Studio’s endeavors. Pierre Marie’s first tapestry, «Ras El Hanout», was handwoven in Aubusson by the historic Manufacture Robert Four, our distinguished partner craftsman. The piece was presented in 2018, and we have since been able to bring such ornamental hand-woven pieces into many interiors.

Fabrics

A natural continuation of Pierre Marie’s ornamental approach to drawing, the creation of original interior fabrics has become a feature of the projects delivered by Pierre Marie Studio. Alongside collections of textile objects, such as throw pillows and blankets, we experiment with various techniques such as jacquard and print.

Blown Glass

Over the years, Pierre Marie has designed hand blown glass objects, starting with vases that have accompanied most of his exhibitions. That exploration of the glass material with master craftsman Atelier Gamil has found its full expression in creating lighting pieces and lamps, such as the Poppy Lamp for «Horn of Plenty», or the Lupara Candelabras.
