All pieces in the cross-disciplinary Folia collection echo the forest surrounding the Saint-Louis manufacture. It was there that Noé Duchaufour-Lawrance found his inspiration, and decided to combine the radiance of crystal with the strength of ash wood. FOLIA is a tribute to the leaves of the Moselle forest and an ode to creative folly. Twenty-five pieces of tableware, decoration, lighting and furniture. A contemporary vision of nature.

Tardini means exclusive Italian craftsmanship, worldwide. In their headquarters in Boggiovara in the province of Modena, the company works crocodile hides, but not just hides: they and beautiful leathers, which are the foundation for a range of Italian handmade products including bags, briefcases, footwear, luggage and accessories, enhanced by Italian skill and exclusiveness, exuding prestige and distinction, without, of course, forgetting the greatest respect for the treatment of the materials. These values and that unique artisan wisdom led the Eastern market to request Tardini to make a Krug Holder. Not just any old Champagne holder, mind, but a portable container especially made for the bubbly of the Maison in Reims. 14 centimetres wide and 43 high, it is crafted in American Alligator using the central part of medium-sized animals, which are the finest sections, with scales bearing the most emphatic lines. Inside, a lining in alcantara and shaped bottom snugly fit the bottle of Krug helped by a tongue that slips over its neck. As regards the working time, it takes from six to seven hours to produce a Krug Holder: to give a comparison, it takes from 11 to 12 hours, on average, to make a medium-sized organizer. Available in black but it can also be ordered in other colours - the Krug Holder from Tardini has an initial run of 20 pieces, most of which will be on sale in the Tardini showroom in Macao, after which they will be available to order online.

LOUIS XIII The Legacy proudly unites four LOUIS XIII Cellar Masters around a rare and precious decanter: personally and individually hand-signed, each fine crystal magnum stands as a monument to the savoir-faire they have passed on and shared. “Crafting LOUIS XIII is like building a cathedral, every generation leaves their mark on the masterpiece,” said Ludovic du Plessis, Global Executive Director of LOUIS XIII. “André Giraud, Georges Clot, Pierrette Trichet and Baptiste Loiseau have all contributed to the history of LOUIS XIII, perpetuating a savoir-faire which Baptiste Loiseau now upholds. These men and women are the cornerstones of LOUIS XIII.” This is the only time these four cellar masters will be brought together in a hand-signed testament to their craft. A very special limited edition to collect and treasure, LOUIS XIII The Legacy is a prized possession available to few in the world in just 500 decanters, no two of which are alike. Housed in an elegant coffret made of fine Italian calfskin leather and bearing a numbered plaque, each crystal magnum is personally and directly signed by each cellar master. Just as the cellar masters preserve the art and savoir-faire of their predecessors, so too this very special edition preserves their legacy.
