Maison Matisse launches its first permanent collection in January 2020, on the occasion of Maison&Objet and Paris Déco Home in Paris.
Entitled La Musique and inspired by the iconic painting by Henri Matisse in 1939 in tribute to his passion for music, this collection of ceramics was created in collaboration with the young Franco-Polish designer Marta Bakowski.
The collection will be available in early April at www.maison-matisse.com and in selected outlets.
Initiated by the fourth generation of Henri Matisse’s family to celebrate, transmit and share the audacity and values of a universal artist, Maison Matisse offers an interpretation of his universe celebrating shapes and colors.
Henri Matisse’s openness to the world, his lack of dogmatism and his capacity for innovation, never weakened by his mastery of color and composition as vectors of emotion, make him an inexhaustible source of inspiration for artists the world over.
The work La Musique (1939) was chosen to give its stamp to this first collection. It features the philodendron leaf, the figure of a woman and, of course, music – themes so representative of Henri Matisse’s work that designer Marta Bakowski has extracted them from the composition of the painting, all curves and geometric lines, and transposed them onto 14 earthenware pieces: 4 dishes, 3 bottles, 6 plates and a jug. In this way, the red, green, blue and ochre flat surfaces take shape, translating the artist’s formal language into three dimensions.
