Arizona Tribune - Maison BARNES Unveils "Art de la Table À la Carte": A First-of-its-Kind Immersive Dining Experience in New York

The Concept: Curation as a Service

Traditionally, private dining offers a standard table setting. Art de la Table À la Carte transforms the table into a canvas of high design. Creative directors Natacha Dassault and decorator-designer Alexandre Donzé Solis have hand-selected and "mixed and matched" the finest pieces from the world's most prestigious heritage brands to create ten distinct scenographies.

Each look is a complete, immersive environment including plates, silverware, glassware, linens, and table decor. Much like selecting a tasting menu, hosts choose one of the ten curated atmospheres from a visual catalog to be fully staged for their event, ensuring a bespoke aesthetic identity for their celebration.

"At Maison BARNES, we believe that the art of living is rooted in the care we show to others. The art of the table is its most subtle language-one that reveals both a taste for beauty and a spirit of sharing." - Thibault de Saint Vincent, President of BARNES.

Partners & Creative Direction

The program orchestrates a dialogue between craft, design, and culinary presentation alongside Chef Daniel Boulud and the Café Boulud team. The ten scenographies feature an extraordinary collection of pieces from a global roster of distinguished maisons and artisans:

Saint‑Louis • Christofle • L'Objet • Le Jacquard Français • Maison Ferdie • Artel • Louis XIII • Maison Poursin • ADS CASA Paris • Société Design • Leurres Exquis • Les Ottomans • Linen by Studio 33 • Ercuis

Practical Details & Pricing

Art de la Table À la Carte is a permanent offering available across all private salons at Maison BARNES, with collections refreshed annually to reflect new collaborations.
