Christofle unveils the Malmaison Riviera collection

Renowned for transforming everyday habits into luxurious rituals, Christofle has shaped the world of luxury tableware and decorative arts through a unique combination of constant innovation, impeccable craftsmanship and timeless elegance for nearly two centuries since its inception in 1830.

Among its most celebrated creations, the Malmaison collection occupies a special place in Christofle’s heritage. Inspired by the grandeur of the Empire style and the refined aesthetics of Château de Malmaison, the residence of Napoleon Bonaparte and Empress Joséphine, the collection has become synonymous with sophistication and French savoir-faire. Its distinctive decorative motifs have transformed it into a symbol of elegant living for more than a century.

Today, the Maison continues this creative journey with the unveiling of Malmaison Riviera, a collection that captures the spirit of Mediterranean elegance while remaining deeply rooted in the timeless codes that have defined Malmaison since its inception. Blending heritage with modernity, Malmaison Riviera celebrates the beauty of shared moments around the table and reinforces Christofle’s enduring commitment to innovation, artistry and the art of living.

The timeless Malmaison collection from Christofle

The renowned French Maison has continuously redefined the art of entertaining, creating collections that transcend generations and trends. From tableware and barware to flatware and exceptional decorative pieces, the Malmaison collection from Christofle remains a testament to rich heritage and timeless vision of luxury living.

Over time, the Maison expanded the Malmaison universe beyond silverware, introducing a refined porcelain tableware collection. The iconic decorative motifs appear yet again, this time on a pristine white background, creating a sense of understated luxury defined by precision and delicacy. Enhanced with gold or platinum accents, this distinguished collection has graced some of the world’s most elegant tables since the early twentieth century.

Embodying the classic elegance of the Empire era, the Malmaison silverware collection is distinct for its symmetrical motifs and water leaves and palmettes pattern, all of which stand among the most iconic exhibits of Christofle’s enduring craftsmanship and unparalleled savoir-faire.

Reinventing tradition with Malmaison Impériale

Over the years, Christofle has continuously reinvented the Malmaison universe, extending its iconic design language across silverware, porcelain, decorative objects and contemporary table settings. Its second installment of the Malmaison universe, the Malmaison Impériale, is a contemporary reinterpretation of the collection’s emblematic codes.

Inspired by the floral ornament found on the handle hoods of the original Malmaison pieces, Malmaison Impériale introduces a fresh decorative language while preserving the collection’s distinctive identity. Each piece features its own unique decoration, allowing hosts to create different table settings according to the occasion and the moments of tasting. The collection is enhanced by precious gold or platinum finishes, bringing a modern sense of elegance to every table.

Launched in 2022, Christofle’s Malmaison Impériale collection reimagines the iconic collection through a sophisticated porcelain service distinguished by delicate motifs and refined finishes. All pieces in the collection are available in two versions: one adorned with platinum and the other with gold, offering versatility and personal expression for contemporary entertaining.

The Riviera aesthetic infuses the collection with a sense of warmth, escapism and effortless luxury, creating table settings that evoke seaside gatherings and sun-drenched moments shared with family and friends. The signature Malmaison codes are reinterpreted through contemporary decorative elements, offering a modern vision of refined entertaining that is ideal for summertime gettogethers.

By unveiling Malmaison Riviera, Christofle yet again demonstrates its ability to honour its heritage while embracing innovation.
