For Amélie du Chalard, bringing art and design into dialogue is a constant practice: in addition to her gallery Amelie, Maison d’Art – a space in the heart of the Saint-Germain district dedicated to the work of established or emerging abstract artists – du Chalard also created Ambroise, a smell network of “maisons de collectionneurs” to rent (two in Paris, one in Provence).
At Ambroise the décor is an ever-evolving display of works by contemporary creatives. And everything – from the paintings on the walls to all furnishing accessories – can be purchased. The name is a tribute to Ambroise Vollard, art dealer and gallery owner but also writer and publisher, who lived between 19th and 20th centuries: a figure of inspiration.
In this week dedicated to design, the gallery displays furniture designed by Anthony Guerrée (produced by the British company De La Espada) and paintings by Ludovic Philippon, a painter trained as an architect.
For du Chalard this is also the opportunity to announce a new adventure: the opening of her first space in New York, in SoHo. The inauguration is set for the end of March.
