Vincent Darré

An admirer of Dalì, Magritte and Cocteau, Vincent Darré always brings dreamlike feelings to his unique collection of furniture. Extravagance, a sense of humor and an eclectic irony become the trademark of his entire artistic production.

He began his career in fashion, to finally embrace interior design and decorative arts. In 2009, after a solo exhibition in Toulun Art Museum, he created Maison Darré, driven by the desire to develop a new vision for the decorative arts. The maison would not exist without artisans who give to all the furniture the magic of their know-how. The pieces created here thus bear the mark of the hands of artisans, and refer to an imaginary past and to a theatrical way of life that distinguishes its founder.

Darré embodies a timeless French luxury in his collections. Memories and childhood inspire his work. On a trip with his mother to Italy, Darré discovers the Baroque and its phantasmagoric references, the gaze of the monsters of Bomarzo and the grotesque fountains of Villa Lante. These gardens full of symbols and irrational follies, that yet are almost forgotten by modernity, have fascinated him ever since.
