Combining their respective expertise, Moissonnier and Beau & Bien present an exceptional collaboration: a luminous, artistic porcelain tray, integrated into the iconic Louis XV chest of drawers (ref. 573). This unique creation fuses the expertise of both houses to create a piece as aesthetic as it is innovative.
When luminous art meets stylish furniture
This collaboration is the fruit of a meeting between two singular houses. Moissonnier, on the one hand, a century-old cabinetmaker renowned for its art of patina and bold shades, and Beau & Bien, on the other, a creator and sculptor of light for almost twenty years, combining innovative technologies with excellent craftsmanship. The result is a hybrid piece of furniture, combining an illuminated Vatel tray with Moissonnier’s Louis XV chest of drawers.
A tribute to French refinement
Inspired by the legendary maître d’hôtel François Vatel, this eponymous platter embodies French elegance and the art of entertaining. A delicate yet ingenious piece designed by Beau & Bien, it is crafted in hand-painted Limoges porcelain and sublimated by a porcelain bell gilded with fine gold, incorporating an innovative LED system. Vatel transforms every service into a unique experience: it transports glasses of champagne or teapots while diffusing a soft, warm light, whether placed on a table, console or any other space. Once its mission is accomplished, it returns to recharge on its base, integrated into the sumptuous Louis XV chest of drawers.
The object of much experimentation, this chest of drawers once again lends itself to the game of metamorphosis and technical innovation. The most perfect expression of the rocaille style, the chest of drawers has been adapted to incorporate an induction disc on the top, to accommodate and recharge the Vatel tray. Slightly concave, the top is hand-painted with an elegant motif of leaves and flowers inspired by the pattern on the porcelain tray.
An eco-responsible and sustainable piece
This completely new piece is made in France using sustainable materials and environmentally-friendly technologies. It embodies the eco-responsible commitment of both houses. The chest of drawers is made in the cabinetmaker’s workshops in Bourg-en-Bresse, from certified, local beech wood. Vatel incorporates a rechargeable battery, guaranteeing long autonomy and versatile use. These are just some of the reasons why Vatel is such a unique and avant-garde piece of furniture.
