LALIQUE X DAMIEN HIRST: the already cult collab that inspires us

 © Fabrice van Hove Do you know Lalique? If you value your chic quotient, you might as well answer yes! A little reminder: Lalique, it is this house founded in 1888 which majestically embodies French luxury through its creations (especially in crystal) which are scattered from the house to the jewellery. By launching a collaboration with Damien Hirst, Lalique continues its pursuit of beauty and its ambitious artistic project… Deciphering an already cult line. Damien Hirst Obsessed with the transience of time and organic death, Damien Hirst has been questioning his contemporaries since the nineties through a work that defies reality (remember, in the 90s, he hit the headlines by exhibiting animals cut out of formalin) and feeds on his obsessions. Memento mori, he tells us through his art which leans cynically and appropriately on the motives of life (death, therefore, love, hate, hope…). A collaboration … Eternal Through the Eternal collection, the artist questions above all cyclical time (from which necessarily arises an awareness of the “tempus fugit” …

Exemplary specimen: the new haunt of Italian gastronomy, Ma Goldo, nestled in the charming rue Dufrenoy. ◊ The cozy, warm, almost sexy atmosphere. As if we were spending the evening accompanied by an Italian crooner with a warm voice and curling eyes. Moreover, it is almost the case because they are there, the crooners, intoning their melodies (which we adore in secret) in the speakers of the restaurant… Sono un italiano vero, therefore. Seated in a classy and intimate decor, the guests are welcomed with a Mediterranean energy, which does not spoil anything. ◊ The plate Full of sunshine. And flavors, which go – well – together. The classics of Italian gastronomy are reworked, with products of exemplary freshness. We strongly recommend the veal escalope al limone: it is fine in the mouth, tasty and …
