CRISTINA CELESTINO 

For the permanent collection Intérieur aux aubergines, Maison Matisse was inspired by Henri Matisse's eponymous painting from 1911 and collaborated with the Italian designer Cristina Celestino.

This choice seemed self-evident. The designer’s world is perfectly adapted to that of the artist’s painting in this particularly decorative canvas where the planes deeply superimpose each other.

Cristina Celestino was born in Pordenone in 1980. After graduating from the Università Iuav in Venice (Higher Institute of Architecture of Venice), in 2005 she began to work with several prestigious firms and focused her attention on interior architecture and design.

In 2010 she moved to Milan, where she founded her brand, Attico Design. As an architect-designer, Cristina Celestino designs projects both for private clients and for companies such as Fendi/Fendi Casa, Fornace Brioni and CC-Tapis, as well as providing creative direction, interiors, and fixtures for Sergio Rossi..

Cristina Celestino has won numerous international awards, including the Special Jury Prize "Salone del Mobile Milano Award" in 2016 and the ELLE DECO International Design Awards in the Wallcovering category in 2017 with Plumage for Botteganove and in 2019 with Giardino delle Delizie for Fornace Brioni.

In September 2022, Cristina Celestino was elected "designer of the year" by Maison & Objet, which devoted an entire space to her during its September edition, around a project called "Exotic Palace".

Cristina Celestino has imagined for Maison Matisse a collection inspired by Henri Matisse's painting Intérieur aux eggplants (1911), composed of several seats (sofas, armchairs), coffee tables, folding screens, household linen, wallpapers and decorative objects.

To create the Automne box set, Cristina Celestino drew her inspiration from the color palette found in Henri Matisse's Intérieur aux Aubergines painting (1911), more specifically the duck green and terracotta tints found in the background and around the windows.

ARTS 

-The square Automne box, alongside its round and rectangular versions, is made in earthenware. -A family-run workshop based in northern Italy since 1967 has been trusted with their production, as their expertise guarantees both quality and durability. -The pieces are first cast and then demolded by hand, they are then fired twice. Finally the paint is airbrushed onto the base and details are added to the lid by hand.

-The Automne box boasts a brown lid with a glossy finish and a duck green base with a matt finish. This combination of textures creates an elegant interplay of materials and colors, giving this entire set of boxes a sophisticated and timeless character.
