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.

Customer Reviews (4.8 / 5 · 5 reviews)

Scarlett E. ★★★★★

The colors shimmer in the light just like a pointillist painting, and it’s genuinely stunning hanging on our tree. My only surprise was how lightweight it feels, but that actually makes it easy to position without drooping the branches.

Violet S. ★★★★★

The pointillist detail is rendered beautifully up close—tiny dots of color that catch the light as you move around the tree. It feels like a small museum piece hanging there, and it's already the one ornament guests keep asking about.

Emma K. ★★★★★

It’s more art than ornament—the pointillist pattern catches the light in a way that makes it look like it’s shimmering. Hung it on the tree and guests keep asking where it’s from, which says it all.
