Home/Design/Deco-Design/Murielle GRATEAU, Tables trainer by Virginie Bertrand, published on 12/03/2015 at 11:00
De son showroom dans le 7ème arrondissement de Paris, MURIEL GRATEAU réinvente les arts de la table avec radicalité, modernité, liberté.She "claws" from her Parisian Touch and her taste for design, interiors around the world.Porcelain tinged in the mass, linen with a hundred shades, crystal or murano glassware, she works with the look and not fashion.And Paris invites itself to the four corners of the globe.
Fashion designer in a first life for the older ones, Mario Valentino or Diego della Valle, Murielle GRATEAU applies at the house the same aesthetic bias.Not without recalling the famous Coco Chanel sentence "You will not have twice the opportunity to make a good impression".
An erect table says as long as the outfit of the housewife.Muriel GRATEAU is the table arts specialist.It creates matt or hand-stricken porcelain services, sensitive monochrome or explosion of colored spots, twenty-five parts per service in thirty-five versions.Linen tablecloths decline a hundred shades, dozens of rose, blue, green, ocher different.
To reach her technical prowess, she sets up her own factory in the Allier, in Couleuvre in the company of twenty craftsmen, mixing generations to promote transmission.It gives a new perspective to the table by generous volumes, a cookie aspect, porcelain sets which reveal the design of the furniture.Its customers, mainly American and English, and more recently Chinese and Indian, are addicts and make the trip to Paris.She will cite only one or two, the late Steve Jobs and Aerin Lauder, the granddaughter of Estée Lauder, but also guess a very large gallery owner of contemporary art, actors and many architects and decorators, PeterMarino, Lee Mindel, Christian Liaigre, Charles Zana, Jacques Grange...
In 48 hours, she delivers a golden breakfast in Australia at the request of a lover for Christmas morning.She also draws a line of jewelry of Haute Joaillerie to which she borrows the best craftsmen, the rarest stones but reverses the codes.Pins like witch mirrors from the Line Vautrin artist, rock crystal bracelets cut like diamond, onyx and 3D camés...And for February a new version of its shopping bag awarded by Wallpaper magazine, in Lizard, Croco and Mat, of course.
Your places of inspiration:
Several galleries of the streets of Lille, of Seine, Bonaparte: Yves Gastou, Robert Murphy of the RCM gallery.The Galignani bookstores and that of Karl Lagerfeld.The Piasa, Phillips, Drouot houses.Your tables: the Voltaire because completely outside the time, the Japanese Yen on rue Saint-Benoît, the Indian Yuganaj on rue Dauphine.
