I’m spending a few days in Normandy.

Meet Maxence de Bagneux.

A ceramic artist and interior architect, Maxence creates sculptural pieces where architecture, design and craftsmanship come together – works made to be experienced and lived with.

His studio, nestled in the Norman countryside, is one of the most inspiring creative spaces I’ve ever visited.

This summer, he is welcoming the internationally acclaimed artist duo edouardtaufenbach and bastienpourtout for three weeks of creation and exchange – the first chapter of his vision to transform this remarkable place into an artist residency.

Watching them create reminded me of something I deeply believe: the most beautiful homes are shaped not only by architecture, but also by the artists and artisans who bring them to life.

Art & Real Estate : two worlds I love bringing together.

A beautiful creative energy to experience.
