2025: A Year of Dialogue and Creativity

After an exciting series of projects, collaborations, and major developments, the year 2025 has drawn to a close for Rinck. It was a year rich with juxtapositions of heritage and contemporary creation, a dialogue expressed in furniture, art, and interior architecture.

It began with the unveiling of the Opus Memoria collection, introduced to the world in Rinck’s Paris gallery during Maison & Objet in the City. This ensemble set the tone for 2025, laying the groundwork for a year focused on memory, exquisite craftsmanship, and storytelling.

A few weeks later, for Art Paris, Rinck made its home in the majestic nave of the Grand Palais as part of the new French Design Art Edition section. Later, at the Révélations International Biennial of Crafts and Creation, Rinck joined forces with the venerable textile company Hurel to present a one-of-a-kind creation: an exceptional backgammon set, combining precious woods and refined embroidery to form a masterpiece of savoir-faire.

Next came the exhibition of La Nuit, a singularly poetic work by Simon Buret. The display of this monumental bronze statue was part of the event Le Carré Fait Son Musée hosted by Le Carré Rive Gauche. A few months later, the sculpture’s shimmering counterpart, Le Jour, was unveiled in Rinck’s New York showroom during the What’s New, What’s Next event at the New York Design Center.

Throughout the year, Rinck, along with much of the world, also celebrated the 100th anniversary of the Art Deco movement. The first manifestation took the form of new scenography for the gallery during Paris Design Week, wholly devoted to this vital movement. The next was in London, where the company took part in PAD London for the first time, unveiling the Rinck x GSL collection, the union of the company’s vast heritage and the contemporary vision of The Guild of Saint Luke studio.

This celebration of Art Deco took an extraordinary form for Rinck as the company helped bring to life-sized reality the legendary luxury train The Orient Express, working hand-in-hand with Maxime d’Angeac for the Accor Group on the timeless exhibit at the Musée des Arts Décoratifs in Paris.

As autumn began, Rinck was present for the second time at the Monaco Yacht Show and introduced the first pieces from the Nereus collection. These works were designed for the yachting world, finding inspiration in the light and colors of the sea – rippling textures, translucent materials, deep marine hues, and shimmering reflections swirling together into a sensitive, immersive language.

Over the year, the interior architecture studio continued to expand and advance. In 2025, it concluded the full-scale renovation of the Hôtel Villa Madame in Paris, as well as a Haussmannian apartment in the French capital’s Golden Triangle. Each of these architectural undertakings illustrated Rinck’s exacting standards and incomparable execution.

With 2025 now at an end, Rinck sets its sights on new horizons and the exhilarating projects to come.
