Drawing: The Art at the Heart of Our Craft

  1. A Common Visual Language: From Sketch to Technical Drawing

    In the world of artistic creation, drawing holds a central place. It is the starting point of every work, a visual language that transcends materials to bring imagination to life. In this video series, explore how drawing, in all its forms, guides the transformation of spaces and objects.

  2. A History of Ornament

    Ornament was a divisive subject in the 20th century, rejected by the modern movement as a sign of decadence, while considered by traditionalists to be a lingua franca uniting the realms of architecture and decoration. This debate has since been pushed aside by architectural post-modernism and contemporary – and deliberately eclectic – interior decoration. Let us look back upon a notion that is as old as humanity itself.

  3. Fromental by Rinck, The Classicist Sketchbook

    Rinck introduces a hand-painted silk wallcovering: Fromental by Rinck “The Classicist Sketchbook", with the prestigious hand-painted and hand-embroidered wallcoverings company Fromental. Watch Valentin Goux and Lizzie Deshays disccuss their first collaboration.

This month’s editorial explores the multiple facets of drawing at the heart of Rinck. Whether ornamental, technical, or architectural, drawing lies at the center of each stage of our projects, ensuring the quality and uniqueness of our creations.

Savoir-Faire

If there is one artistic practice that unites every team member and every department at Rinck, it is drawing. From the conceptual and artistic sketches by our architects and designers, to the meticulous and exacting sketches of our sculptors, to the technical drawings by our design offices and 3D modelling and printing, our business always begins with a single line. Be it ornamental or technical, it is the foundation of all our creations.

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.
