Trame debuts at Maison&Objet with collections inspired by "historical anecdotes"
Homeware and accessories brand Trame made its debut at Maison&Objet with a collection, A Voyages to Meknes, based on the fictional story of Louis XIV's daughter marrying the Sultan of Morocco.
The brand will sell collections of ceramics and rugs, made by selected designers in collaboration with local artisans, based on their visits to various Mediterranean locations.
The first collection presents the work of three designers ? Julie Richoz, Maddalena Casadei and Maria Jeglinska ? in reference to the Moroccan city of Meknes.
Like each new collection that will follow, it is sparked by a "historical anecdote" that connects two countries across the Mediterranean Sea.
"The story of Madame de Blois, the legitimate daughter of Louis XIV, and the Sultan of Morocco based in Meknes was a catalyst to explore Meknes region and its culture," explained Trame's creative director, Valentina Ciuffi. "Madame de Blois was asked for her hand in marriage by the Sultan," she told Dezeen. "This never happened, but human history is full of these little events, pretty much unknown, that could have changed its course."
At the launch at Maison&Objet in Paris last weekend, Trame presented two projects each by Richoz and Casadei ? a rug and a set of ceramics, both available in different colourways ? and a blanket by Jeglinska.
The set for the presentation and for the accompanying images was designed by Giovanni de Francesco, with Studio Vedet.
