MELLONA

A richly imagined collector’s suite layered with 20th-century icons and decorative opulence.

At its heart lies the ‘Phoenix aux Choux’ Daybed by Claude Lalanne (1996) — a lyrical, sculptural piece that fuses fantasy and functionality in true Les Lalanne spirit. The sinuous bronze lines of the bed frame echo the dreamlike narrative found throughout the room.

To its side, a rare ‘Ondulation’ Floor Lamp by Jean Royère (circa 1953) adds a gesture of playful elegance, while overhead hangs an opulent Art Deco chandelier in the Ruhlmann style, drawing a thread of Parisian grandeur into the space.

Framing the room’s character are two pivotal modernist paintings:

On the left: Serge Poliakoff, Composition Abstraite, 1953 — a dynamic chromatic study in red, green, and ochre.

On the right: Augusto Giacometti, Oil on Canvas, 1942 — a lyrical, near-surrealist fan composition capturing Swiss modernist symbolism.

The architectural shell, inspired by the French neoclassical tradition, offers a delicate floral backdrop that softens and romanticizes the stronger sculptural statements.
