A hundred years ago, the Art Deco movement marked the height of a distinctly French art of living. Defined by pure lines and sumptuous materials, it sealed an unprecedented dialogue between architecture, decoration, and craftsmanship.
Today, that spirit is reborn on the rails, through a project both technical and poetic: the New Orient Express, orchestrated by Maxime d’Angeac for the Accor group.

On one side, Valentin Goux, President and Artistic Director of Rinck; on the other, John Whelan, founder of the London studio The Guild of Saint Luke, renowned for his subtle reinterpretations of decorative heritage.
From their encounter emerged a creative dialogue, a conversation between Paris and London, past and present, wood and metal.

Born from a creative dialogue between Rinck and The Guild of Saint Luke, this collection offers a modern yet respectful reinterpretation of 1930s Art Deco furniture. Each piece revisits a historic silhouette, infused with bold materials — lacquered wood, brushed metal, high-gloss finishes — while preserving the original sense of balance. A meeting of heritage and avant-garde, conceived for the present.

Leafing through the guide to the 1925 Exposition Internationale des Arts Décoratifs et Industriels Modernes – the International Exhibition of Modern Decorative and Industrial Arts – is a very pleasant journey indeed, one that takes you through space and time.
