About

Art and aesthetics have inhabited me forever. Not as a hobby — as a way of seeing the world.

I have refined this gaze over the years, in museums, at markets, in auction houses. I have learned to recognise what endures, what resists, what continues to speak long after being created.

Galerie Bleu Magenta was born of this conviction: the most beautiful objects, the most singular ones, already exist. Made a hundred years ago, two hundred, sometimes three hundred — you just need to know how to recognise them.

An antique ceramic next to a 20th-century light fixture, a period mirror facing a piece of design — this dialogue between styles and eras is what defines the Bleu Magenta universe.

Each month, I travel the markets, antiques dealers and auction houses of France, Italy and Belgium. I seek out signed pieces, in remarkable condition, chosen for their beauty, their authenticity and what they exude — that quality hard to name, yet immediate.

I select for collectors, decorators and lovers of beautiful things who wish to surround themselves with objects that have a story — not merely objects.

Everything you find here, I have chosen myself.
