Paris Design Week
For Paris Design Week 2025, Galerie Rinck opens its doors to celebrate the heritage of Art Deco. On Rue de Beaune, time seems to stand still, inviting visitors to rediscover the spirit of the 1930s — an era when ensembliers décorateurs crafted complete universes, from furniture to textiles, from lighting to carpets. The gallery thus transforms, allowing visitors to explore contemporary creations designed by the Rinck studio and shaped in its workshops. Here, Art Deco is not frozen in the past: it inspires, reinvents itself, and enters into dialogue with our time.
The scenography envisioned by Rinck draws on the concept of the total work of art, so dear to the creators of the 1920s and 1930s. Each piece is part of a coherent whole, where furniture, textiles, carpets, and lighting interact to form a harmonious ensemble.
In this spirit, the gallery revisits the approach of the great figures of the era, such as Émile-Jacques Ruhlmann, Eileen Gray, and Jules Leleu, who conceived spaces in their entirety — “from floor to ceiling, from ashtray to chandelier.”
This tribute to Art Deco is both respectful of the past and open to the present. Textures, plays of light, and the richness of compositions reflect the creative precision of Rinck’s workshops. The exhibition invites visitors to travel through time, to experience the effervescence of an era while discovering a renewed vision of the style — a living Art Deco where emotion arises as much from artisanal mastery as from the boldness of lines and associations.
Rinck and the Art Deco Movement
Paris Design Week 2025: A Tribute to Art Deco at Galerie Rinck
Galerie Rinck transforms to celebrate the legacy of Art Deco. On Rue de Beaune, time seems to stand still, inviting visitors to rediscover the spirit of the 1930s — a time when ensembliers décorateurs shaped complete worlds, from furniture to textiles, lighting to carpets.
Shaping the Dream of the New Orient Express
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, imagined by Maxime d’Angeac for the Accor group. And to bring this dream to life, the designer turned to Rinck as the project's conductor, entrusting the creation of the bar and restaurant cars to the Maison’s experts.
Now on display in Paris through the exhibition “1925–2025: One Hundred Years of Art Deco” at the Musée des Arts Décoratifs.
Rinck x The Guild of Saint Luke, a rediscovered Heritage
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.
Reflecting on the 1925 Decorative Arts Exhibition
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.
