Our selection begins with the Assouline “Yachts” Coffee Table Book, a piece that transcends its pages. It is not just a book, but an invitation to dream, to step aboard worlds of open seas and boundless elegance.
From the world of Lalique, we chose a rose crystal vase, sculpted with delicate, naked female silhouettes—a poetic interplay of light and form. It is not merely a vessel for flowers, but a sculpture that arrests time.
Then comes the masterpiece of Cristofle: the Egg, a gleaming silver case that opens to reveal fine silverware within. A triumph of design, it exists in many variations—platinum, gilded, adorned with Parisian scenery, or transformed into an Asian-inspired set with chopsticks. Each version whispers of opulence, the kind reserved for collectors who understand that dining itself can be elevated into art.
A dual-sided Hermès scarf, adorned with equestrian motifs, offers a more intimate form of luxury—an accessory that speaks of heritage, identity, and the timeless rhythm of fashion.
For moments of delight, the French maison Objet brings us two treasures: a gold-plated beetle-shaped bottle opener, at once playful and exquisite, and a backgammon set, stylish and eternal, a companion for evenings steeped in conversation and leisure.
These are our choices for September—curated not for excess, but for their power to elevate the everyday. For what is luxury, if not the art of living with intention? To collect such pieces is to embrace beauty not as an indulgence, but as a philosophy: each object a reminder that elegance, when woven into daily life, can transform the ordinary into the extraordinary.
Because sometimes, the smallest detail—a book on your table, a crystal vase by your window, a scarf draped just so—can season life with the essence of luxury. And that is never frivolous; it is vital.
