Human Adventures

Prune Cirelli

An expert in paintings from the end of the 19th century with the Union Française des Experts, Prune Cirelli is very attached in art as in literature, to the Victorian English world and by extension to the Parisian world of the Belle Epoque since she wrote a memoir and some articles on Madeleine Lemaire. She also has a great attraction to Japanese aesthetics in its various fields.
Loved by delicacy, her tastes are a mixture of Dickens, Bouvier, Edith Wharton, Henry James, Tanizaki, Mishima… Very Parisian, the beauty, architecture and minimalism of the capital inspire her in her work, particularly the Belle period. Period and Paris of Marcel Proust. Besides, “I always look for these details during my walks and I believe that my drawings are imbued with this nostalgia. She reveals to us her vision of beauty, like an eternal quest for novelty”..

Claire de Quénetain

After studying Visual Arts at Ecal in Switzerland, Claire de Quénetain continued her artistic training at the Royal College of Art in London in printed textiles. During her studies Claire de Quénetain developed a passion for gardens from which a personal expression of painting and drawing developed. She’s painting
with spontaneity in order to capture the generosity of shapes, colors and movement of nature. She has now created her brand of furnishing fabrics and interior decoration, offering collections of hand-painted fabrics, also made with screen printing and digital printing. Its collections aim to create natural and happy atmospheres in our interiors where we can feel the freshness and colors of the gardens. Claire de Quénetain has collaborated with Heal’s and Swoon Editions in London, Hedgehouse in New York and Feathr in Helsinki.

The Claire de Quénetain collection for Maison Thevenon was inspired by the flowers and plants in the gardens when they were in bloom. Nature reveals its wealth of shapes and colors which lead us to rediscover the magic of Spring. Claire de Quénetain painted this generous language in watercolor in order to suggest the vibrancy of the colors that appear..

Robert le héros

The story began 30 years ago when 4 friends, young Decorative Arts graduates, decided to publish their drawings. LARGE PLANTS, ACIDULATE COLORS, CALLIGRAPHED MESSAGES: a style was born, different from all the proposals at the time. ROBERT THE HERO found a large, passionate audience from the start with his original collections of home fabrics and fashion accessories. LAURENT GELIS, the owner of the brand, has settled in RIO DE JANEIRO where he receives travelers from all over the world in his hotel, the CASA AMARELO, entirely decorated in the colors of the brand (www.casa-amarelo.com).
The meeting with MAISON THEVENON, a French fabric publisher, had an immediate effect. The desire to create new patterns is intact. VINCENT THEVENON then suggests that we think about a different collection where we would combine the fundamentals of the brand with a new modernity. MARTINE BOULARD, artistic collaborator of the brand for ten years, is enthusiastic about the challenge.
New graphics associated with sensitive colors that bring energy and joy make up this new collection of 21 fabrics that the public will discover at the start of the 2020 school year after several months of study. Very happy with this new adventure, the ROBERT LE HÉROS brand is finding its way back to success..

Michel Klein

At 17, he joined Jacqueline Jacobson for the Dorothée Bis collection, noticed by Colombe Pringle, fashion editor at ELLE magazine, the latter photographed the first clothes designed by Michel Klein. In September 1975, with Andrée Putman and Colombe Pringle, the adventure of the Place du Marché-Saint-Honoré began with the “creators” group bringing together Issey Miyake, Jean-Charles de Castelbajac, Christiane Bailly… In 1977, with the famous director Bob Wilson, Michel Klein developed costumes for Death, Destruction and Detroit in Berlin, Edison in New York before the presentation at the fall festival in October 1979 in Paris. It was in 1981 that Michel Klein’s eponymous brand was born, after several years within major fashion houses such as Yves Saint Laurent, then Guy Laroche where he became artistic director. Great names have accompanied him throughout his artistic career such as Issey Miyake, Andrée Putman, Karl Lagerfeld, Sonia Sieff and Naomi Campbell who will be his muse for the campaign in 2006. In 2004, the brand launched the Cher Michel line Klein, which aims to be a luxury ready-to-wear line. Michel Klein’s style is above all the search for balance between the magical and the useful. All his creations are the result of meticulous and passionate artisanal work. Michel Klein is a great couturier aware of the desires of women and their whims, thus his universe is completed with accessories, perfumes and constant collaborations with the world of fashion and design. Today, the most Parisian of designers has decided to assert a little more his desire to create fashion that resembles him: inspired and fiercely free. He therefore now presents them under the code name “Mimi Liberté”.
Today Michel Klein’s meeting with the Thevenon house sounds obvious, the sharing of know-how, beauty, refined excellence are words that these beautiful houses bring to life with passion. The first collection launched at the famous Parisian concept store Montaigne Market revolutionizes outdoor fabric with sublime printed patterns in the vein of Michel Klein’s collections..

Nathalie Leté

According to The Socialite Familly Nathalie Lété is “one of the most prolific artists of her generation. Collaborating with a whole range of worlds, from wooden toys to satchels, including books and wallpaper, she knows how to renew herself and offer ever more astonishing creations, in harmony with the spirit of the brand.”
After studying applied arts (Ecole des Arts Appliqués Dupérré de Paris) and at the Beaux Arts de Paris, and a few years working as a duo on painted cardboard sculptures (under the pseudonym Mathias and Nathalie), she is now spending her days in his large workshop on the outskirts of Paris.
It is there that she continues to do what she did as a child, translating her emotions through different techniques, drawing, painting, ceramics, embroidery…
Her creations, a patchwork of her origins, mix flowers and birds taken from Asian chromos, images taken from the popular art of Eastern countries, but also vintage toys that she collects, as well as other themes closer to ‘a cabinet of curiosities..
