How can you integrate exceptional art and decoration into your home?

Selecting Furniture Pieces as Works of Art

High-end furniture has become a true form of artistic expression in contemporary interiors. Our 600m² Paris showroom in the 8th arrondissement is a testament to this evolution, where each furniture piece is transformed into a genuine work of art.

Current Trends in Luxury Furniture as Art

The art furniture market has seen remarkable growth, with a 23% increase in luxury design auction sales since 2020. This trend reflects a growing desire to acquire unique pieces that create a true signature in an interior. In our showroom, we observe that our clients seek signed creations that dramatically transform the atmosphere of their space.

Contemporary designers today draw inspiration from major artistic movements to create functional pieces with sculptural lines. To incorporate these exceptional pieces into your home, follow our experts’ recommendations:

• Select one or two statement pieces around which to build your décor
• Create minimalist spaces around the art furniture to highlight it
• Play with direct and indirect lighting to emphasize finishes

The Influence of Art Deco on Contemporary Furniture

Born in 1920s Paris, Art Deco continues to have a major influence on luxury furniture design. Its geometric lines, noble materials, and refined aesthetic can be seen in many contemporary pieces we offer. The balance between luxury and functionality inherent to this style especially appeals to our discerning Parisian clientele. Key characteristics of Art Deco-inspired furniture include:

• Bold geometric lines and sharp angles
• Use of luxurious materials like ebony, rosewood, and marble
• Lacquered finishes and metallic inlays in brass or bronze
• Symmetrical forms and repetitive motifs

A table with geometric inlays, a faceted glass chandelier, or a zigzag-patterned covering is enough to evoke Art Deco. Our experts are here to help you seamlessly integrate these elements into your interior.

The Value of Exceptional Furniture: Materials and Craftsmanship

Art furniture is distinguished by its use of precious materials and exceptional artisanal techniques. Our selection includes pieces made from rare woods (Macassar ebony...), precious metals (patinated brass, bronze), and natural stones (Carrara marble, onyx). Handcrafted finishes—marquetry, lacquer, gold leaf—reflect a fading expertise. Market data shows that furniture featuring noble materials retains its value and can even appreciate by 15% to 30% over a ten-year period.

Our team of advisors guides clients through this thoughtful acquisition process, offering pieces whose artistic value transcends trends. Exceptional furniture thus becomes an heirloom, much like an art collection.

Enhancing Interior Architecture with Exceptional Furniture

Art furniture requires a unique approach, distinct from traditional layout rules. Our interior architects recommend treating certain pieces as true artworks, giving them the space they need to be admired from all angles. For example, a designer armchair can become the centerpiece of a living room, while a sculptural console can turn a hallway into an art gallery. Our team helps you create an interior that fully expresses your artistic sensitivity and showcases these unique pieces.

Contemporary and Vintage Furniture

The harmonious blend of contemporary creations and vintage furniture is one of the strongest trends observed in the most refined interiors. In both Milan and Paris, interior designers favor these combinations that tell a story and create a distinctive atmosphere. A contemporary marble dining table may sit alongside vintage chairs restored with luxurious fabrics, creating a striking yet perfectly balanced contrast.

Decor Accents to Elevate Your Space

Decorative accessories are the final touch that transforms an ordinary interior into an exceptional space. In our 600m² Paris showroom, we have curated pieces that enhance every room in your home. These carefully chosen elements allow you to express your personality through art.

Our experts have identified several categories of accessories that make a real difference in a high-end interior:

• Vases and bowls are the easiest decorative accents to integrate
• Candleholders and candelabras are perfect for creating a warm ambiance
• Decorative objects such as sculpted animals and totems bring character and originality
• Interior rugs act as structural elements in a space

Screens are also key elements that redefine space while adding artistic flair. Our models crafted from precious woods or adorned with luxurious fabrics create elegant separations in large rooms—such as our stunning screen 145 - Gold Pebble.

Creating a Unique Atmosphere with Lighting and Art Objects

Lighting fixtures are true works of art that transform the atmosphere of an interior. Our experts guide you through the subtle art of integrating these luminous sculptures into your space to create an environment that reflects your personality.

Lighting as Standalone Art Pieces

True luminous sculptures, contemporary light fixtures transcend their primary function to become art objects. These statement pieces define the identity of a space and create a memorable visual signature. Our collection features several categories of artistic lighting:

• Monumental chandeliers that shape vertical space, such as our elegant chandelier 24 - Duvaux
• Table lamps with sculptural lines, true collector’s items like our lamp 167 - Empire State
• Wall sconces that create sophisticated shadow play, such as our exceptional piece PC - High Murano Glass
• Indoor lanterns that add intimacy, such as our model 46 - Aged Teak Medium Solar

Creating a Lighting Scenography in Your Home

Lighting shapes the atmosphere of a space as much as furniture or artwork. Our decorators recommend designing lighting as a true scenography that enhances the architecture and artistic objects of your home. A luxurious interior ideally combines three levels of lighting: general, accent, and ambient. For a truly personalized décor, we suggest multiplying light sources at different heights:

• Central pendants to define living zones
• Table lamps for reading and relaxation areas
• Wall sconces to highlight artwork and decorative elements

Additionally, lanterns and candle holders create an intimate and warm atmosphere that instantly transforms a space. Strategically placed on consoles, coffee tables, or even the floor, these light sources bring a poetic dimension to your interior.

Harmonizing Lighting and Art Objects for a Cohesive Design

A well-chosen light fixture can elevate a collection of decorative objects and create a cohesive visual story throughout your space. Smart lighting enhances your collectible pieces—whether it's a precious vase, a sculpture, or an exceptional screen—by showcasing them in the best light.

The Art of Living Exceptionally Every Day

Integrating high-end furniture and beautiful decorations allows you to personalize your interior while bringing in an artistic dimension. Whether through your choice of furniture, accessories, or lighting, each element contributes to creating a coherent and harmonious atmosphere. This transforms your living space into a unique environment, tailored to your tastes and desires. Pacific Compagnie supports this process to help you achieve an interior that is both functional and inspiring.
