PARIS - Maison et Objet

Seen at Maison et Objet. The best and the chicest gardening equipment and clothes can be found at Le Prince Jardinier. Prince Louis-Albert de Broglie story began when he bought, with his brother, Philippe-Maurice, the chateau de La Bourdaisiere in the Loir-et-Cher region of France. They transformed the Renaissance castle into a magnificent hotel and the surrounding grounds into a jardin a la Francaise. Prince Louis-Albert was presenting at Maison et Objet his new rattan furniture collection called Commanderie. The design for the whole collection was inspired by the detail of an armrest from an old garden chair from his aunt’s castle. His latest project is a magazine due out in March and available at Le Prince Jardinier stores or on request.
