Additions to the L'Archipel Sentimental collection
"My archipelago is growing, the poetic islands that make it up are multiplying, and
punctuating the tablecloth with new elements: rim soup plates with stories of water, vases beacons of gentleness, a butter dish as a boat, messenger trays, the face water carafe, the teapot that flies, the mimosa-scented candles of my childhood... My horizon with the Faïencerie de Gien is radiant with ultramarine blue. The style of the archipelago we have built together is timeless. It is part of the most beautiful of rituals, the one that brings us together around a table every day to share, as on an island, the mystery of a meal."
Jean-Charles de Castelbajac, a visionary trailblazer, was one step ahead in anticipating what were to become the basics of today's new world of creation: art and fashion, misappropriation and collaboration. His multifaceted work in the field of art, fashion and design, is articulated in a short range of colours: blue, yellow and red. His artwork and designs are infused with a passion for history, for the world of childhood and pop art.
Kitchen accessories
The kitchen often occupies a special place in our daily lives, and is a central place in the life of a family. Gien offers a collection of kitchen accessories that are as useful as they are decorative: two sizes of storage jars with olive wood lids, a utensil holder with three olive wood utensils, a spoon rest and an apron.
These pieces are available in two patterns: Oiseaux de Paradis and the timeless Monogramme.
The wooden elements are manufactured in the Drôme region of France, from one of the noblest woods, olive wood. The grain differs from one product to another, making them all unique. The mix of wood and earthenware will bring a soft, warm look to any kitchen.
Cocktail bowls
Gien now offers cocktail bowls in Millefleurs, Provence and Tulipes collections.
Breakfast, afternoon tea, aperitif... these bowls will suit every moment of the day and every occasion.
Two new patterns have also been added to the Gien range of tapas boards: Millefleurs and Tulipes.
These tapas boards are ideal for setting up a nice aperitif to share festive and warm moments. They consist of two cocktail bowls on an oak board.
