Category: Christmas Decorations & Baubles

Conceived during a trip to the places associated with the famous French writer, in which Alessandro Mendini perceived the affinity between the writer and the Parisian pointillists, the “Proust” decoration was born from the reinterpretation of a detail in a painting by Paul Signac. The iconic decoration now embraces Christmas, proving how its innate expressive power is able to transfigure any medium into an artistic object. To make every decoration a miniature work of art.

Aurora C. ★★★★★

Sitting here trimming the tree, I keep glancing over at this one ornament—the pointillist pattern really does glow under the lights, like a tiny Seurat painting. It's more art piece than bauble, and the weight of it feels substantial, not flimsy like most decorations.

Julian R. ★★★★★

The pointillist detailing is what sold me—up close it’s like a tiny canvas of colored dots that shimmer differently under the tree lights. I’ve got it hanging at eye level in the hallway so guests actually stop to look at it.

John H. ★★★★★

It’s more of a miniature art piece than a bauble, honestly. Hanging it near the window makes the pointillist dots shimmer so softly, and it’s already the most complimented thing on my tree.
