An Interior Landscape
From April 9 to 12, at the Grand Palais, Art Paris 2026 returns with a new edition where design engages in dialogue with contemporary art.

Interview with Valentin Goux

Dive into the Nereus collection
Nereus: The Shimmering Sea Sculpted in Solid Form
During Maison & Objet in the City, Rinck unveils Nereus at its Paris gallery, a collection inspired by the depths of the sea, where materials form a seascape, where furnishings become a sensory experience. This ensemble – designed to take you deep into a watery world in motion – explores the interaction of light, undulating water, and marine textures in contemporary designs brought to life through exceptional savoir-faire.
Nereus: A Collection Designed by Movement
For Bertille Goux, Collection Director at Rinck, Nereus did not originate with an immobile pattern, but with movement. The movement of water, of course, but also that of an open, evolving creative process, fueled by constant dialogue between lines, materials, and savoir-faire.
Rinck x The Guild of Saint Luke a Face-to-Face Dialogue
The Rinck x GSL – E. Rinck collection, presented at Maison & Objet in the City, is on display – arranged to embody a dialogue – at Rinck’s Paris location on Avenue Daumesnil.

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.

Heritage, space and light: rethinking the interior
A Parisian interior reinterpreted
In Paris’s Golden Triangle, a 220 sqm Haussmannian apartment — complete with a service room — has regained its rhythm. The brief entrusted to Rinck was not to alter its envelope, but to rethink the very way it is lived in: reorganising functions, refining circulation, and restoring coherence to its uses, without erasing the heritage that forms its fabric.
The Art of Stained Glass
Nolwenn de Kergommeaux, an exceptional master glassmaker, carries forward an ancestral savoir-faire in her Parisian atelier, Au Passeur de Lumière.

“François Premier” Apartment, Paris
This 220-square-metre apartment embodies a way of living in which heritage naturally aligns with modernity, where sophistication remains discreet, and where luxury is expressed through precision rather than ostentation. It is a reimagined Parisian interior — soft, quiet, timeless — carrying Rinck’s signature: interior architecture that elevates material, structures light, and tells a story through precise, sensitive décors.
"Saint-Honoré" Apartment, Paris
Stately, splendid, and swathed in Parisian elegance, this 400 square meter Haussmannian apartment overlooks the Faubourg Saint-Honoré neighborhood.

Echoes of Art Deco
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.

From their encounter emerged a creative dialogue, a conversation between Paris and London, past and present, wood and metal.E-RINCK by Rinck x GSL
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.

A conversation in two voices, where poetry meets craftsmanship, echoing the spirit of this singular piece.
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.

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.

Discover our Activities
The Rinck Studio is an interior architecture and decoration practice founded on a conviction: a complete command of classical expression is the prerequisite for true contemporary creative freedom.
Drawing its creativity from an in-depth knowledge of the heritage and language of ornament, the Studio masters classical vocabularies in order to reinterpret and play with their codes—an approach Rinck calls Creative Classicism. It creates modern, inspired interiors that bear the imprint of those who inhabit them.
The Studio designs interiors for a discerning international clientele. From Parisian private residences to exceptional villas in Asia, from Upper East Side apartments to palaces in the Gulf, each project is approached as a unique commission, led by a dedicated team from the first sketch through to final installation.
The Studio’s strength lies in its understanding of the codes of ultra-luxury, enriched by its daily connection with Rinck’s manufacturing workshops. What is designed can be made by the very same house. It is a couture approach in which precision is absolute, from conception through to installation.
The professionals in our design studio, masters of the history and hallmarks of luxury furniture, annually design one full contemporary collection, along with many bespoke pieces for exacting connoisseurs and collectors. This expertise builds upon more than 180 years of design work in the most varied styles, creating hand-in-hand with our group’s in-house workshops. Possessing such comprehensive knowledge of materials and finishes, our furniture-design teams are wholly at ease devising the most complex pieces of furniture using wood, stone, leather, precious stones, both wood and straw marquetry, and even metal.
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.
Joining in creative collaboration with passionate artisans who bring their savoir-faire to life, expertly honing raw materials into singular designs, is not only a strength, it is a choice. Rinck’s love for the decorative arts often finds expression in alliances with other companies, artists, and craftspeople who embrace the same values of excellence and aesthetics.
Over the past several decades, Rinck has perfected a precise project-management process making it possible to undertake top-quality missions working with decorators, interior designers, and architects who are not only the most accomplished in their fields, but the most exacting, as well.
More often than not, our references choose to remain discreet, as the owners of yachts and superyachts, luxurious New York City townhouses, and princely London palaces. Quite a few, however, are household names.
Our multi-material methodology (wood, metal, glass, stone, etc.) and end-to-end process – from the work of the engineering and design department to the installation to the worksite supervision – have earned our clients’ steadfast trust. Each of these fitting and/or furnishing commissions is entirely customized and unique. Each new project is also another chance for us to adapt our savoir-faire to original requirements, improve our working tools, and further hone and broaden our skills to satisfy the needs of our specifiers.

The history of chinoiseries in France - Part I
In 1368, while the Hundred Years’ War was still raging in France, five thousand miles away, China’s new Hongwu Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang had ousted the Mongols from power and established the Ming dynasty. Galvanized by the end of foreign dynastic domination, the Middle Empire closed its borders to the rest of the world, with very few exceptions. Seventy years earlier, in 1298, the story of a Venetian merchant in the court of Kublai Khan had sparked tremendous interest in Europe.
