Cristina Celestino

For its second permanent collection, Maison Matisse has collaborated with the Italian designer Cristina Celestino, who drew her inspiration from Henri Matisse’s emblematic painting Intérieur aux aubergines (1911). This choice seemed self-evident. The designer’s world is perfectly adapted to that of the artist’s painting in this particularly decorative canvas where the planes deeply superimpose each other.
