THE MAJESTIC COLLECTION
Or, How to Domesticate a Savage Collection…
We are proud to present the Majestic Collection, and to top it off, a video of the stand in Milan.
Sancal has the pleasure to present our latest creations. The Majestic Collection is a tongue-in-cheek look at majesty using the profusion of decorative styles from other periods, reviving sensations through the careful curation of materials and forms.
Our instinct told us that it was high time we revealed our sophisticated side, but how could we conserve the humour and fresh design that defines us?
The result is an intentionally impossible, almost surreal, scenography: a palace-like environment that is inspired by the ancient “golden ratio”, decorated with objects that are obviously false. A chic, innovative look, far from the staid perpetual reproduction of the past that is so often pushed as elegant.
Jokes aside, this is a serious, refined collection. The rich use of materials is as important to us as the lines of the pieces themselves. Soft velvet, the scent of leather, the detail of marquetry and the shine of metallic colours like copper or silver breathe life into the collection.
