Coutansais Castillo’s Debut Furniture Collection
Coutansais Castillo will debut its first furniture collection at DVIR Gallery during Maison & Objet In the City, on view from January 14–18, 2026.
Founded by Clara Rebillard Castillo and Victor Poirier Coutansais, the studio moves between interior architecture and furniture design, drawing on the heritage of decorative arts and the tradition of the ensembliers to shape a world of cultivated references and imagined elsewhere.
For this inaugural collection, Coutansais Castillo introduces four pieces that extend the studio’s interior projects into objects: an ottoman, a ceiling light, a wall-mounted console, and a carpet. Across the set, Coutansais Castillo establishes a clear formal language—geometric and restrained, with a sculptural gravity that nods to Art Deco without nostalgia. Clean lines meet precious details, and a softened palette keeps the pieces poised rather than performative.
Materials and craft sit at the centre of the collection. The ottoman pairs a solid French oak base with traditional feather upholstery, finished in unbleached raw silk shantung and a beige cotton throw articulated with knotted netting and patinated brass beads. The ceiling light combines an oak structure with a Nepalese paper shade coated in beeswax, with variants incorporating black horn bead accents on cotton netting. The carpet is built from brown hemp canvas, hand-embroidered with wool threads in a starry-sky motif, while the console is wall-mounted in solid French oak with contrasting details. Each piece is crafted in France, assembled by artisans using traditional manufacturing techniques and guided by a consistent standard of finish.
At DVIR Gallery, the presentation is conceived as a close encounter between design and art. Founded in 1982 by Dvir Intrator, the gallery has long championed avant-garde contemporary Israeli artists, later expanding its programme internationally and establishing European outposts in Brussels and Paris. For this January presentation, Coutansais Castillo’s four pieces will sit alongside works by historical and contemporary artists, framing the collection within an intimate, collector-minded atmosphere where furniture holds its own as a cultural object.
