The icon Jardin d’Eden collection celebrates its 10th anniversary. The crowning glory of the longtime partnership between Marcel Wanders and Christofle. A special occasion honoured with a special capsule collection inspired by the seven deadly sins, along with an exceptional Haute Orfèvrerie piece and new finishes. Captivating new designs, dressed in the collection’s signature motif: interlaced leaves, winding fleur-de-lis and a decorative apple against a geometric matrix – the Garden of Eden today.
The story of the Garden of Eden is continued with a seductive collection of silver-plated accessories illustrating the seven deadly sins. As imagined by Dante’s poem, “The Divine Comedy” and the story of Purgatory in particular – describing a place between heaven and hell where souls repenting their sins can redeem themselves – the seven deadly sins are ordered as Pride, Envy, Anger, Sloth, Greed, Gluttony and Lust. Animated as an animal, each of the pieces is embellished with one of the sins, beautifully entwined in the whimsical decoration of the lush garden, featuring a wealth of arabesques and sensual volutes. A welcoming paradise for the peacock, snake, snail, lion, toad, bear, and goat and a pleasure for the eyes and soul. The special capsule collection compromises two shot glasses, a mirror, honey dipper, keyring, game set of three dice, a pocket ashtray and money clip. For the aficionado, a special limited collector’s set has been created. Crafted in lambskin embossed with the Jardin d’Eden motif it treasures the entire anniversary collection executed with an exclusive rose gold finish.
The latest addition to the Haute Orfèvrerie collection and the first Jardin d’Eden automaton is an extraordinary one. The Cuckoo Clock is a contemporary reinterpretation of an all-time classic. Embracing time and the passing of it while bringing it to life with Adam and Eve as its special timekeeper. Going back to the beginning of time, back to the Garden of Eden where Adam finds himself lingering under the branches of the tree of good and evil, wearing a shirt and jeans. Every hour Eve comes out, all dressed up in a skirt and heels, to seduce Adam in eating an apple. An enticing spectacle takes place under the snake’s watchful eye. A celebration of our sins instead of criticizing them. Available in a numbered limited edition of eight, the clock is made to stand the test of time. There to remind the times in life worth remembering.
The Jardin d’Eden flatware collection, originally available in total gilding and partial gilding in yellow gold, is enriched with three new dazzling finishes: total gilding in pink gold, partial gilding in pink gold and a new finish that shows all the know-how and expertise of the Maison – a partial gilding that mixes yellow gold, pink gold, and silver.
