, who have created their own furniture designs, even as luxury brands such as Fendi and Elie Saab expand their homewares collections to cater to a rising appetite for interior design in the wake of the coronavirus pandemic.
Mabille’s inaugural collection, Interior Games, was already in the works before COVID-19 hit. In addition to one-off items, it features items such as marble side tables, available in limited editions of eight. Prices range from 18,000 euros to 50,000 euros. Inspired by Art Deco furniture designer André Sornay, and antique French petanque balls, Mabille has made bronze nails a signature of his line. No fewer than 28,000 were used on a modular coffee table, and they frame theAlexis Mabille with a table from his debut furniture line.He calls the style “clean maximalism.” The designer is represented by Aurelie Julien Collectible Design, whose clients also include Virgil Abloh, Martin Szekely, Harry Nuriev and Joseph Dirand.
“His references are much more classical than the people I usually work with. He loves antiques, so he’s more geared toward the decorative aspect than the conceptual side,” Julien said. “For me, it’s very new territory because I’m used to working with people who are radically minimalist. He takes me in other directions.”
Next up for Mabille is designing the Los Angeles outpost of Caviar Kaspia, which will feature an outdoor restaurant. “I’ve always been interested in interior design, but it wasn’t my main career path. Now, with all these design projects, it’s catching up to me naturally,” he said.
