In 2026, CFOC presents Céleste, a collection, inspired by stars and celestial bodies, capturing that suspended moments between night and day. Tinted with silver leaf, it combines earth and clay in surfaces, designed to catch and reflect lights. Among the new pieces, the Eclipse trays and Etamine boxes are joined by six new Astré side tables. Featuring textured finishes and an interplay of shapes, they can be used as seating, both indoors and outdoors. The Tchaï stool, meanwhile, revisits bronze (photo credits: ST & AL).
On the textile side, the Séléné rugs, tufted in wool and viscose, is produced in 25 pieces and 11 colours. While the Nova tablecloth, screen-printed and generously weighted, completes this plural offering. The Samarcande line returns after two years, crafted in embroidered silk velvet and available in several colours. Adding to this, lighting and objects include 3D-printed candleholders, the Oria porcelain lamp, which can also be used as a hurricane lamp, and even two pairs of earrings, created with 3D printing.
In another side, Christofle unveils Club 30, a collection already positioned as an icon into bar galaxy. Deeply inspired by Art Deco, this line combines some technical expertise with a retro-contemporary signature. The brilliance of steel, the texture of its fluting, and the interplay of symmetry and asymmetry come together in a graphic, modern design, all conceived as a catalyst for shared rituals. Their champagne bucket stands out with its timeless silhouette and elegant fluting. Made of steel, a sculpted detail at the top provides a natural grip, while a silicone base, discreetly protecting all those delicate surfaces.
The insulated ice completes the collection. Thanks to integrated, removable ice packs, it keeps ice at the ideal temperature. A recessed grip and silicone base complete the design, for just 1.34kg. Each piece has been designed to form part of an inseparable ensemble, to manually wash with a cloth, instead than in a dishwasher, in order to preserve the steel‘s shine. At last, a three-part film, featuring piano, while celebrating mixology, accompanies this launch, that was settled in the Parisian cocktail bar, named Cravan.
We continue with Lalique that unveils a new collection, dedicated to the Air element. Entitled Air de Lalique, tending to capture the invisible side, through fluid forms and delicate motifs, evoking draped fabric and moved by the wind. At the heart of the collection, Alizé embodies a gentle breath of air. Its design, inspired by haute-couture pleating, creates undulating movements into crystal and captures lights with subtlety. The collection includes new vases, bowls, candlesticks and scented candles. At the same time, the legendary Maison is reissuing several iconic pieces in new colours and expanding its candle line, whose design echoes the shape of the historic Alsace kiln, each candle illustrating a stage in the life of René Lalique.
Lalique is also launching Empreinte Animale, a premium jewellery line. Their necklace features 12 striped crystals, in various colors, alternating with links in yellow-gold or silver plating. Complemented by a bracelet, featuring five crystals. Geometric lines and contrasting textures define these jewellery pieces. Finally, the Maison‘s iconic cabochon inspires a double-wrap leather bracelet, adorned with a coloured crystal and gold plating, as well as earrings with pure and fluid volumes.
Also for Paris Design Week 2026, the illustrious chocolatier Patrick Roger is opening its Roger Garage, a new artistic space dedicated to his sculptural work, at Place Saint-Sulpice. Located just steps from his boutique, the venue marks a new stage in his artistic career, where sculpture no longer accompanies chocolate, since it becomes its main subject. The Meilleur Ouvrier de France is known for his spectacular window displays, where monumental animals and raw forms interact with delicious pralines and ganaches. With Roger Garage, the so-called gastronomic artist fully embraces his dual identity. Bronze, aluminium and mechanical references come together in a workshop-like environment, evoking sensations of dismantling, assembly and transformation. The very name of the venue refers to his passion for engines and motorcycles. Indeed, chocolate often remains the starting point, modelled, carved and hollowed out, it is then translated into metal through the Coubertin foundry, allowing ephemeral forms to be made permanent. Previous collaborations with Karl Lagerfeld, Jean-Paul Gaultier and Guy Savoy had already highlighted this permeability between gastronomy and artistic creation, where craftsmanship remains. Working with a mass of chocolate or pouring bronze requires the same exigency.
Whereas, the design Galerie Negropontes inaugurates the third chapter of its “A Look at Brancusi” exhibition cycle, standing in Paris from 11 September 2026. Following two exhibitions, devoted to a dialogue between the photographs of Dan Er. Grigorescu and the gallery’s artists, this new presentation focuses on the sculptural dimension of this conversation. This multifaceted exhibition brings together distinct artworks by artists Mircea Cantor, Gianluca Pacchioni, Mauro Mori, Perrin & Perrin, Agnès Baillon and, for the first time, Morgane Baroghel-Crucq. Their realizations enter into dialogue with photographs, taken by Grigorescu between 1964 and 1967, documenting major sculptures by Constantin Brancusi. The gallery continues its exploration of the connections between the legacy of the Romanian master and contemporary creation. Therefore, Grigorescu‘s photographs do more than document forms, since they extend a particular way of looking at matter, light and volume. Apart from this, the gallery, alongside this photographic work, visitors can discover Mori‘s organic marble and wooden volumes, Pacchioni‘s crystal eggs, Cantor‘s structures, made from reclaimed Romanian wood, Baillon‘s human-form bronze sculpture, and Baroghel-Crucq‘s fluid textiles.
