GUILLERME ET CHAMBRON’S PARTNERSHIP

The duo behind Votre Maison conceived their design studio after meeting in a forced labor camp during World War II. They then worked side-by-side, designing interiors and furniture from the 1950s through the 1970s, drawing on their harrowing experiences at the camps to inform their creation of functional yet playful furnishings that add warmth to the home.

INNOVATION IN SITU

The installation enabled visitors to see first-hand the utility and transformative qualities of the duo’s innovative work. The selection of art—including bronze patinated sculptures by Kepa Akixo and Duane Michals's photography series of Andy Warhol—complement the various furnishings throughout.

GLAMOROUS ATMOSPHERE

The vignettes, curated by New York gallery Maison Gerard and the design agency frenchCALIFORNIA, are interspersed with the likes of bronze sculptures and ceramics that infuse each installation with the feeling of a glamorous abode.
