  2. Dialogue at the Crossroads of Art

    In this joint interview, Simon Buret and Valentin Goux reflect on their first encounter, the inspirations that shaped their collaboration, and the artistic and technical choices that led to the creation of La Nuit — a sculptural work emblematic of the Opus Memoria collection.

  3. The Story of an Extraordinary Work

    With Simon Buret’s poetic, sculptural work entitled La Nuit, Rinck brings another singular creation into the fold of its Opus Memoria collection.

  4. Behind the Bronze: The Birth of La Nuit

    Bringing La Nuit to life took months of dialogue—between sculpture, material, and flame. This film follows the creation of the piece from clay to bronze, unveiling the intricate, spectacular world of fine art foundry work.

Between material and memory, this new edition of the Journal traces the genesis of La Nuit, a monumental sculpture conceived by Simon Buret for Rinck. From clay to bronze, from intention to gesture, discover an exceptional work at the heart of the Opus Memoria collection.

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.
