Lelièvre Paris Divan Red Textile. Dimensions: 221 × 110 cm x H
52 cm – Seat: H 35 cm. „Jeux de Salon“ is the first furnishing
collection released by Lelièvre Paris, French creator of exceptional fabrics.
Lelièvre Paris dresses the most stunning interiors in the world with its
upholstery fabrics, wallpaper, rugs and accessories. Guided by its boldness, and
by its passion for colours and materials, Lelièvre Paris is now setting its
sights on furnishings as a way of expressing, through this new medium, its
expertise and the wealth of its fabric collections. In an endless quest for
optimal quality and artisan expertise at its best, the Jeux de Salon collection
is made in France, in the Vosges region, using sustainable materials. „This
expression of beauty and elegance clearly corresponds to the house of
Lelièvre's values, whilst also showcasing our fabrics and reasserting our
commitment to Made in France. To design this collection, the Lelièvre house
called upon the talents of liberated, curious, and eclectic designer José
Lévy. Simultaneously casual and elegant, the Jeux de Salon collection offers a
mix & match myriad of materials and colours which revisit
Lelièvre's iconic fabrics, such as velvet and bouclé, in strong and confident
tones, combined with lacquered wooden finishes in red, black, and honey. Daring,
playful, modern, and full of colour, the Jeux de Salon collection is animated by
the strong concept of fun, with modular and multi-use furniture with
architectural shapes. José Lévy: "This series of pieces is a tribute to the
fabrics and sublime colours of Lelièvre, which has been a French institution
and a crown jewel of decorative arts for more than 100 years. Open
interpretation is on the cards for Jeux de Salon, as it deconstructs uses and
habits to offer a playful, graphical, and colourful collection“. For
distribution, Lelièvre Paris is doing an exclusive collaboration with Made In
Design. This collaboration covers all of the various commitments and values held
by Made In Design: supporting creation, French creators and expertise, a
commitment to sustainable and eco-responsible design, curating, and a unique
outlook to allow everyone to discover exceptional design. The cushion is a
structural element in décor, and it's a starting point and common thread for
the Jeux de Salon collection. The designer has come up with inspiring
construction combinations for each piece, whether that means stacking them or
unstacking them, it's always with a playful flare. Completely adjustable and
designed to offer multiple options, the whole collection – which includes a
daybed, an armchair, an ottoman, benches, footstools, rugs, and cushions –
can be put together and taken apart to flow with the positions and rhythm of the
day. It leaves everyone free to put together their own living room, and to tell
their own story through the collection. Each furnishing element can also be used
on its own. The Jeux de Salon collection has been designed close to the ground,
in the style of Japanese tradition, which never ceases to inspire José Lévy.
The oversized daybed, a supposed tribute to conversation-piece sofas, has been
designed like a platform, a half-bed and half-table island where you can snuggle
up, meditate, play, or simply chat… The ultra-vibrant colours of the velvet
and the single-fabric cushions paired with colourblock tones structure and
emphasise eminently graphical staging. A few strokes and designs amidst the
large flat-tint colours on the rugs evoke geometry inspired by the world of
games and sport. Made In Design: „This narrative for play created by José
Lévy charms us with its sensitive and liberal approach, bursting with
uniqueness and creativity. Driven by José's personal history, the design is
simply perfection, and allows for a subtle harmony to be conducted among the
shapes, materials and colours which reveal the infinite and majestic
playfulness. The stunning beauty of the Lelièvre fabrics enriches the
designer's work, and the renowned creative house has taken this opportunity to
experiment with a new field of expression. The result? This daring furnishings
collection, which plays a role in the emergence of this new field with that
certain, magic spark and a wonderful tale!“
