Invite guests, friends and family to a happening at the dining table with the "L'Archipel Sentimental" dinnerware collection by Gien and Jean-Charles de Castelbajac. The French design rebel created more than 30 gestural pop art décors for the renowned manufactory to immortalise them on their traditional faience. Rich in symbols and nods to historic motifs, the colourful décors read like poems and transform the set table into a space for communication, emotion and togetherness.
De Castelbajac chose Gien's historic shade of blue as the main colour for his expressionist designs to connect his ideas with the manufactory's long history. Bold colour patches in red, green and yellow add his signature radical colourfulness. Together with the nostalgic nature of faience dinnerware, the décors awaken forgotten memories and feelings from childhood. Flamboyant, radical, emotional – "L'Archipel Sentimental" is a loud yes to life.
Jean-Charles de Castelbajac is a veteran and icon of the French fashion and art world. For over 50 years, his extravagant comic couture has inspired the influencers of their time, from Andy Warhol and Vivienne Westwood to Drake and Lady Gaga. De Castelbajac offers colourful resistance to established design philosophies with spontaneity, bold colours, imagery from childhood and a distinctive French charm.
Gien is one of the most important manufacturers of faience, a white-glazed semi-porcelain. With its long history, the warm white earthenware is deeply embedded in the French and European identity. Try combining "L'Archipel Sentimental" with the "Filets Cobalt" dinnerware pattern and the "Pont aux Choux" tea goblets.
