Nothing says cool and fresh like beautiful, modern tableware from Marie Daage Paris. I had the pleasure of incorporating her work into my spring dining room renovation. For 25 years Marie Daage has continued the traditions of her trade with a savoir-faire about luxury that is uniquely French. One of the first modern designers to combine contrasting designs and colors within a table setting, Marie’s fusion of pattern and color unify her signature style – a melding of stripes, florals and figurative scenes. Humorous and quirky, or subtle and sumptuous, her designs evoke the art and style of French living, richly conveyed by the fluidity and translucence of hand painting. Just when many of us here in America thought that fun and innovative dinnerware was just too much trouble, Marie has come into the scene to demonstrate yet again, truly, the art of dining enjoyment. I combined this line of porcelain with Chinoiserie fabric from Robert Allen to create a warm and cozy dining room for all seasons.
