Christofle
Thanks to its creations in silver, Christofle is a symbol of luxury and elegance. Since its founding in the mid-19th century, it has been a continous innovative force and has infused each era with a new art of living. Thus, over time, this prestigious company has revolutionized styles, techniques, and methods for the production and distribution of silver plate and the decorative arts.
 
A player in and privileged witness to the evolution of taste, customs, and traditions, Christofle has always seen its name associated with major creative trends, renowned artists such as Man Ray or Jean Cocteau, avant-garde architects such as Gio Ponti, and modernist silversmiths such as Lino Sabattini and Christian Fjerdingsatd, as well as present-day designers such as Andrée Putman, Martin Szekely or Ora ïto. Today, as in the past, whether gracing the tables of emperors, princes, or maharajas, in palaces, on board the Trans-Siberian Railway, Orient Express, or transatlantic ocean liners, or in the contemporary restaurants, Christofle continues to make an impression.

Cri.Royale de Champagne
It is a story of men and women, who, through the course of time, have lived and absorbed the metamorphosis of materials and colours. Company loyal, they have known how to hone their gestures to render the product sublime, making it truly exceptional. Enriched by its experience, HAVILAND remains a pioneer. The importance of its historical archives, on forms and decors in equal measure, along with thousands of creations, have permitted the Manufacture to found a museum, displaying its rarest, most beautiful, most representative pieces for the delight of all. Talent is a gift.

Wieki Somers
Studio Weiki Somers comprises designers Weiki Somers and DyIan van de Berg. Since 2003 the studio has earned an international reputation for the way its work introduces extraordinary fantasy in the most common things. Developing a deep sensitivity for materials, technological detailing and a highly demanding finish, it aims to provide an enlightened reading of our everyday environment.  Trough this restless experimentation with useful objects - their shapes, material and meanings, the way they are made and the way they are used - the studio's work questions our aesthetic impulse in a subtle and often contradictory manner.

The Studio undertakes commissions for international manufacturers, museums and galleries, and has enjoyed anintensive relationship with Galerie Kreo in Paris. It has received numerous awards and its works are in major museum collections, including the Museum of Modern Art in New York, the Centre Pompidou in Paris, Museum Boijmans van Beuningen in Rotterdam and the Victoria and Albert Museum in London.
