Forest & Audiard announces the new opening at the Librairie des Arts inside the prestigious Royal Monceau-Raffles

This emblematic venue perfectly reflects the spirit of Maison Forest Audiard, where art and excellence converge

NEW YORK, NY, USA, June 17, 2024 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Sommeliers, restaurateurs, fine wineries, serious wine collectors, and epicureans at large can now own a genuinely exclusive “objet d’art” to uncork their favorite bottles:

The “ouvre-vin” by Maison Forest & Audiard

First of a collection of “objects for living”, this bespoke “ouvre-vin” crafted by Forest Audiard reproduces one’s palm. Both surprising and exceptional, this sculpture can be used every day, but never in a conventional way. When you pick up a Forest Audiard object, you immediately perceive its distinctness. Only when you place your hand in the imprint can you grasp how meaningful everyday tasks genuinely are?

The ultimate companion of any epicurean, the “Ouvre-Vin” is an object of art for the unconventional gourmet. The mysterious, abstract shape mounted on its base is a replica of the inside of the closed hand, revealing its perfect fit when grasped. Much more than a sculpture, much more than a simple corkscrew, the “Ouvre-Vin” is designed for wine-lovers who appreciate the finest Grands Crus. It is a piece that opens the way to sharing and tasting. It will be handed down from generation to generation for all eternity.

The art of bespoke sculpture

A partnership between famed French sculptor Michel Audiard and luxury entrepreneur Sébastien Forest, the Maison Forest & Audiard is creating a series of bespoke “objets d’art,” such as personalized pens, knives, and sabers. All are sculpted in bronze and bespoke to replicate—and fit—their owners’ hands, thus making these unique sculptures heirlooms to pass to the next generations.

Maison Forest Audiard demonstrates storytelling of a new genre through the age-old technique of lost wax casting to craft a unique everyday object shaped in the image of your imprint. We invite you to take a hand in writing this unique story, which would only exist with your hand.

This magic can only occur when the artist’s hand encounters your own. The artist’s “savoir-faire” then takes hold to capture its soul and seize a fleeting impression destined to become an eternal sculpture.

Each Forest Audiard object is a bespoke creation in the shape of your imprint, entirely made in the artist’s foundry at Rochercorbon near Tours in the heart of France’s famed Loire Valley of Renaissance castles.

Represented in the United States by Kaleidoscope Luxury PR & Communications, a boutique firm established in 2016 in New York, this unique Wine Opener will be presented to a discerning public of VIP wine collectors and sommeliers in a series of wine tastings events in New York, the Hamptons, Palm Beach, Naples, FL, Dallas, Chicago, Sans Francisco, Napa Valley, Beverly Hills, to name a few. During these wine-tasting events, wax imprints of customers will be sent to Maison Forest & Audiard’s foundry and jewelry workshop to be cast in bronze, gold and even studded with diamonds (prices for these unique sculptures start at $15,000).
