About
THE VISION
At the crossroads of myth and reality, La Table d’Orphée offers you the possibility of dream and of the most beautiful voice. Through plates and glasses, it is a song woven like a thread, transparent and sonorous, making your table, more than an ordinary and neglected gathering, the delight of enchantment, the breath of a journey.
La Table d’Orphée offers you more than an art of the table: it weaves an art of living. An art of living and of being in the world, where happiness passes through beauty, and where beauty is everyday. It is in what seems insignificant: the reverse of a napkin, the curve of a glass like that of a petal, the brilliance of crystal, morning dew through which the sun radiates, enchants. It is that beauty of detail, of artifice, which makes of the table a work, a painting, pictorial and profound, beyond the mere pragmatic use of a succession of containers.
La Table d’Orphée is a promise: the promise of a better everyday, for the great movements of this world are born of little nothings, of individual actions, just as the beach is made of a million grains, just as the machine breaks down because of a single speck of dust in a gear. To take care of your meal is to take care of yourself and of the one you welcome at your table.
It is to take care of the world.
La Table d’Orphée is a celebration, finally… above all effervescent, French and Parisian, mischievous and whimsical, nonchalant, laughing, this intoxication of the everyday, euphoria of laughter, of festivity or of poetry, no matter. Orphée is a song of intoxication, revelling at Maxim’s and overturning the earth, fingers adorned with diamonds. Free as air, light, floating over the city, and traversing the centuries in a cloak embroidered with stars.
Eclectic, motley, a joyful olapoprida of all styles and extravagances, it turns vaudevilles into Racinean tragedies, operettas into a Valkyrie, mud into gold.
THE OFFER
La Table d’Orphée is a galaxy of unique and narrative plates, it is the audacity of plucking a star and pinning it to your tablecloth, cherishing light in the night. Ginori, Haviland, Saint-Louis: a whole heritage that comes to the table, and with it, its craftsmanship and the rarity of its taste. Sophie Lou Jacobsen, Ulysse Sauvage, Felicia Ferrone: visions, artists, who pursue beauty in these everyday objects, performative and poetic.
But La Table d’Orphée is not only cutlery, it is also the proposition of adorning the table with flowers, of spreading fabrics, cloths, simple or silky, of resting the gaze upon them, of raising high the bowls carrying the bacchanalian and pictorial fruits.
Tableware, centerpieces, furniture, flowers, table linen, accessories: La Table d’Orphée thus offers a global universe, immediate, available.
It is more than objects: it is a vision, a sensibility.
