Rinck at Art Paris: A Century of Creation at the Grand Palais

  1. Rinck at Art Paris

    In April 2025, Rinck returns to the Grand Palais for the contemporary art fair, Art Paris. For this 27th edition, Art Paris introduces several new features, including a section dedicated to contemporary design in limited editions. Valentin Goux, President and Artistic Director of Rinck, shares insights into the exceptional pieces showcased on the balconies of the Grand Palais. He also reflects on the century-old history of Rinck and the Grand Palais, an iconic venue where the house has always displayed its creations.

  2. French Design Art Edition: Meeting with the Exhibition Curators

    During Art Paris, we had the opportunity to sit down with Sandy Saad and Jean-Paul Bath. As co-directors of the Le French Design association, they are also the curators behind the exhibition at the Grand Palais and its brand-new section, French Design Art Edition. They shared their vision for this exciting new field.

  3. TR-73: A Design Icon Reimagined

    Rinck marks its return to the Grand Palais during Art Paris with an iconic piece reimagined: the TR73. First presented in 1973 at the Salon National des Beaux-Arts, this chair has been given a fresh update. Staying true to its avant-garde design, it is now reimagined with an environmentally conscious twist. Gone is the original Altuglas, replaced by recycled plexiglass – an evolution that reflects Rinck's commitment to eco-responsible design.

  4. Rinck: A Century of Major Art Salons in Paris

    For over a century, art and interior design fairs have served as vital venues for ensembliers décorateurs, providing incomparable showcases for displaying their style and savoir-faire. These major events – bringing together designers, creators, artisans, and artists, recognizing talent and setting the trends of each era – have shaped the very history of design and furnishings.

Since 1925, Rinck has maintained a special connection with the Grand Palais and the major art and design fairs held there. This year, the house participates in the 27th edition of Art Paris, an unmissable event that celebrates contemporary art and the dialogue between art and design.

In this new edition of the Journal, various perspectives converge around Rinck's participation in Art Paris. Valentin Goux presents the pieces showcased at the Grand Palais and reflects on Rinck's history with this iconic venue. Jean-Paul Bath and Sandy Saad, curators of the French Design Art Edition section, reveal this new initiative dedicated to design and contemporary decorative arts. Rinck's historical journey through art fairs is also explored, along with the TR-73 chair, reintroduced at the fair in its contemporary reedition.

Through these stories, we invite you to discover a piece of Rinck's history and its vision of design.

Savoir-Faire

Our company – boasting its own production workshops and approaching its second century of operations – brings together many skills specific to French decorative arts. Be it our boiserie and millwork workshops, our furniture and bronze workshops, or our design offices, more than a dozen forms of savoir-faire are expertly practiced at our three sites, each having its own venerable history, a legacy that is further enriched as it is taught by one generation to the next.

They are complementary, often complex, traditional, or innovative, and combine the nobility of handcraftsmanship and the perfection of age-old techniques with digital precision and other new practices born of technological advancements. Their uses are dedicated to the making of exceptional pieces and are mastered by women and men who, with passion and respect, transform the material into something even greater than itself and bring to life all the interiors imagined by our designers and executed for our trusting clients.

Nurtured by 180 years of history, we believe in the perfect mastery of classic ranges, a prerequisite for contemporary design. Our cultivated relationship with the history of the decorative arts is rooted in France's heritage, but resolutely turned towards the world, the meeting of cultures and know-how. Our ambition is to create exceptional interiors that are full of colour, art and life, that blend seamlessly into their surroundings and are perfectly suited to the daily lives of their users.
