The collection shows pieces that would highlight its harmony with the modern life, how intricately carved woods, hand-woven textiles, and many-hundreds-of-years-old ceramics could be. &#8220;I wanted to show history is not something we leave behind,&#8221; Laurent explains. &#8220;It is something we carry forward, giving it new meaning.&#8221; <\/span><\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column _builder_version=&#8221;4.25.1&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; type=&#8221;1_2&#8243; theme_builder_area=&#8221;post_content&#8221;][et_pb_image src=&#8221;http:\/\/localhost\/wp_6\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Odyssey-Through-Time.png&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.25.1&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; theme_builder_area=&#8221;post_content&#8221; alt=&#8221;Odyssey Through Time&#8221; title_text=&#8221;Odyssey Through Time&#8221; hover_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243; sticky_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243;][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=&#8221;4.25.1&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; theme_builder_area=&#8221;post_content&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;0px||||false|false&#8221; width=&#8221;92%&#8221; max_width=&#8221;1170px&#8221; hover_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243; sticky_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243;][et_pb_column _builder_version=&#8221;4.25.1&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; type=&#8221;4_4&#8243; theme_builder_area=&#8221;post_content&#8221;][et_pb_image src=&#8221;http:\/\/localhost\/wp_6\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Heart-of-Craftsmanship.png&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.25.1&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; theme_builder_area=&#8221;post_content&#8221; alt=&#8221;Heart of Craftsmanship&#8221; title_text=&#8221;Heart of Craftsmanship&#8221; hover_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243; sticky_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243;][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.25.1&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; theme_builder_area=&#8221;post_content&#8221; hover_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243; sticky_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243;]<\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Heart of Craftsmanship\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Artisans are at the heart of the collection. It&#8217;s among keepers of old knowledge handed down through generations for continuing the art of practice in spite of the synthetic production parallel. For instance, some of this would be the personally hand-painted porcelain tiles that are based on 17th-century Andalusian patterns made by a very small family workshop in Seville. One more important part is Persian silk rugs woven by hands with techniques launched back to the times of the Safavid dynasty.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cThe territory of luxury lies not only in the product but also in the hands that create it,\u201d muses Laurent and adds, \u201cWhen you bring these pieces into your home, you are bringing in history, culture, and a legacy of craftsmanship.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=&#8221;4.25.1&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; theme_builder_area=&#8221;post_content&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;0px||||false|false&#8221; width=&#8221;92%&#8221; max_width=&#8221;1170px&#8221; hover_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243; sticky_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243;][et_pb_column _builder_version=&#8221;4.25.1&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; type=&#8221;4_4&#8243; theme_builder_area=&#8221;post_content&#8221;][et_pb_image src=&#8221;http:\/\/localhost\/wp_6\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Bringing-the-Old-to-the-New.png&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.25.1&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; theme_builder_area=&#8221;post_content&#8221; alt=&#8221;Bringing the Old to the New&#8221; title_text=&#8221;Bringing the Old to the New&#8221; hover_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243; sticky_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243;][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.25.1&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; theme_builder_area=&#8221;post_content&#8221; hover_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243; sticky_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243;]<\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Bringing the Old to the New\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Heritage Reimagined is a completely contemporary design that, while remaining deeply historical, can equally easily fit into modern-day interiors. The oak dining table: constructed using traditional Japanese joinery methods-an ancient custom where nails or screws are not required, hence the durability and beauty. Likewise-profile Moroccan zellige tiles, handcut and glazed in brilliant color-are now reinterpreted as slim, minimalist wall installations.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8220;Timelessness is my goal,&#8221; Laurent has said. &#8220;With these ingredients, any interior feels a little soul: be it a penthouse in New York or a country hideaway in Provence.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A Cultural Connection<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It is increasingly prevalent that luxury homes are being personalized, and it is through that where the deep cultural artifacts have come to be embraced. Whether a tapestry hand-embroidered by an Indian craftsman or a piece of bespoke Italian marquetry cabinet tells a story-one that pleads with time beyond trends.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Laurent perceives it as something more than an aesthetic flick. &#8220;It&#8217;s about authenticity,&#8221; she informs. &#8220;They&#8217;re yearning pretty much for real. They want a connection to something genuine, something with history beyond their own lifetime.&#8221; <\/span><\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=&#8221;http:\/\/localhost\/wp_6\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/The-Future-of-Heritage-Design.png&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.25.1&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; theme_builder_area=&#8221;post_content&#8221; alt=&#8221;The Future of Heritage Design&#8221; title_text=&#8221;The Future of Heritage Design&#8221; hover_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243; sticky_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243;][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.25.1&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; theme_builder_area=&#8221;post_content&#8221; hover_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243; sticky_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243;]<\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Future of Heritage Design<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Cultural craftsmanship is increasingly assuring high-end interiors through the likes of Laurent busying itself with sustainable luxury.
