Malmaison Riviera reinterprets the iconic world of Christofle with a freer, brighter and more contemporary approach. The collection draws on Malmaison’s refined aesthetic whilst infusing it with new energy.
Comprising around fifteen pieces of fine porcelain, the collection offers everything you need to set an elegant table: plates, serving dishes, bowls, mugs, tea and coffee cups, and even cake sets.
As its name suggests, Malmaison Riviera evokes sun-drenched landscapes and the Mediterranean way of life. Its décor is primarily characterised by a watercolour yellow, delicately applied to the porcelain.
This colour brings warmth and light to every room. It is reminiscent of the sun’s rays, light-drenched façades and long summer tables where we love to take the time to entertain.
The inspiration remains subtle, however. The yellow does not dominate the composition: it serves to accentuate the whiteness of the porcelain and create an elegant balance between freshness and warmth.
The strength of Malmaison Riviera lies in this interplay between tradition and spontaneity. The designs and spirit of the Malmaison collection retain their timeless elegance, whilst the watercolour-style yellow lends them a more relaxed feel.
The variety of pieces also means you can put together a complete table setting or select a few items to add a sunny touch to an existing set.
The collection therefore lends itself easily to mixing and matching. A Malmaison Riviera plate can become the standout piece on a simple table, whilst the cups, bowls or dishes can be used day-to-day to add a splash of colour.
At Touzeau, we love collections that allow you to set an elegant table without being too formal. Malmaison Riviera fits this ethos perfectly.
Its vibrant colour palette instantly adds character to a table. It can be paired with white tableware to create a simple look, or combined with natural materials, clear glasses and elegant cutlery to emphasise its Mediterranean feel.
It’s also an interesting collection for gradually putting together a tableware set, choosing pieces to suit your lifestyle and the way you like to entertain.
Atmosphere: Sunny, elegant and warm. We envisage Malmaison Riviera in a light-filled interior, on a natural wood table or in a setting inspired by Mediterranean homes.
Special offers: Family lunches, brunches, meals with friends, summer dinners or relaxed gatherings. The collection effortlessly adds a festive touch without feeling too formal.
Seasons: It is particularly attractive in spring and summer, when natural light brings out its watercolour-like yellow hue. It can also add a touch of warmth to a table in autumn or winter.
The art of hospitality: To create a harmonious table setting, pair Malmaison Riviera with natural materials and delicate glassware. A few fresh flowers, foliage or accessories in soft shades will help to enhance its Mediterranean feel.
Malmaison Riviera offers a new way to discover Christofle’s Malmaison range. Its fine porcelain, elegant lines and watercolour-style yellow décor come together to create a collection that is refined, warm and easy to live with.
At Touzeau, we recommend you explore it as a collection in its own right or incorporate it into your table setting in small touches. Let your preferences be your guide: we’re here to advise you on combining different pieces, colours and materials.
