Nomad Cabinet

Traditional codes of French savoir-faire, tinged with a timeless modernity.

Maison Fontaine, a locksmith of decorative art, and Astello by Thierry Massant, cabinetmaker, gave carte blanche to Jean Boggio, storyteller and artisan jeweler, to create a unique piece of exception: a nomad cabinet combining their three know-how .

The result is a true ode to the traditional codes of French savoir-faire, tinged with a timeless modernity.

French savoir-faire

This close collaboration between the Maison Fontaine and Astello by Thierry Massant who, under the artistic direction of Jean Boggio, gave birth to a sumptuous travel cabinet, a link between the 17th and 18th century cabinets and the Art Deco style.

Cabinet in Ebony of Macassar

Astello by Thierry Massant took care of the manufacture of the cabinet in Ebony of Macassar, sublimated by a varnish. The whole thing offers an incredible decor with a large chrome handle from Fontaine collections, which used to be used in transatlantic fittings.

Secret drawer

To also give a mysterious side to this furniture between the travel cabinet and cabin trunk, Jean Boggio has added a secret drawer in which are encrusted 12 gilded bronze rosettes of the Maison Fontaine.

Jungle Motif

Resting on 6 feet in nickel-plated bronze inspired by the ball buttons designed by Ruhlmann for the Maison Fontaine, this precious cabinet proudly displays the jungle motif, a true trademark of Jean Boggio whose “graphic DNA is the palm tree, a true madeleine of Proust of my childhood.

Console in the spirit of Napoleonic
