‘The South.’ Those words conjure up images of the regions unique colours; of that glowing light that at once sculpts the landscape and enhances everything it touches. Images of lazy afternoons, after strolling through the country side picking laurels, basking in that particular golden warmth of the late afternoon. Images also of the Mediterranean Sea, its mirages, its mystery, the magic of its crystal clear reflections, and its glinting golden treasures.

The beautiful atmosphere of this fascinating region has inspired the Lelièvre Signature 2018 collection Riviera, a tribute to The South’s timeless aura.

The collection includes natural and sophisticated upholstery fabrics, horizons and textures, to be used from precious curtains to modern accessories. The collection also includes an iconic tapestry, a medium of artistic expression favoured by Studio Lelièvre in recent seasons.

ESTEREL

"Boldness in stripes..." Esterel is a printed cotton velvet, whose colours are an ode to the wild nature of the famous coastal mountain range. Dryness, freshness and the passage of time are all evoked through the nuances of this material. It represents a day of contemplation in the hills and red rocks of the Esterel that plunge down into the turquoise sea below.

CAMARGUE

The colour of salt: the treasure of the ocean; the shade of marshlands and enveloping mists are all expressed in this fabric. The softness of its wool is lovingly mixed with precious gold to create a constellation of lights on the surface of an airy curtain with the perfect drop.

OLEA

Late afternoon on a petanque court in Saint Tropez. Olive leaves caress the ground, the feet of players disturbing the sand and their footprints softening as evening arrives Oléa is a playful geometric print on a pretty cotton satin, crafted from different cuts and punctuated with dots on a white background speckled with colour. In the shade, as in the light, the olive leaf, treasure of the Riviera, illuminates the entire composition via the gold, silver or copper metal appliques.

RIVAGE

The sea, we see dancing... sang Charles Trenet, a lover of Nice and the region, perfectly characterising Rivage, which represents, in such a spectacular way, the horizons and reflections of the Mediterranean Sea. The colours range from neutrals to deep blue, and are testament to the moods of the sea, from frothy liveliness to Olympian calm... Its matte cotton fabric contrasts the luminous nylon weave providing great resistance for upholstery use.

VALLAURIS

This fabric is an homage to the coastal village legendary for its ceramics workshops. The chiselled jacquard patterns in the rich and dense pile of this cotton velvet express the rigour of paving or the precision of a mosaic due to its geometric design. The range of bright and acid colours pays tribute to the famous vintage enamels of Vallauris.

REGATE

A fresh wind blows on this elegant cotton and viscose jacquard, with small geometric patterns scattered here and there symbolising the joyful and dynamic life of the seaside. The eye is drawn to the surface of this soft and luminous material, with loops accentuating matteness and texture. Sails floating alongside schools of sardines, and sunsets caressing the silhouette of pine trees.

MAQUIS

Tapestry has become a strong medium of expression for the Lelièvre studio. This season, it takes the form of a wild and precious herbarium, a botanical garden whose essences have been carefully selected by Lelièvre Paris. Mediterranean plants flourish on cotton weave with bright colours, ennobled by touches of golden thread that give life and sun to the garden in which we would like to wander... This original creation embodies the lively and fresh tone of this collection.

CALANQUES

A wild and mountainous landscape The view of steep cliffs disappearing into the horizon, illuminated by the sun or the moon. Valleys meeting mountains, creating soft peaks, bathed in light. This scenery directly inspired Calanques, a lampas made in our weaving workshops in the Loire. A fine silk-like weave offers a soft and elegant drop, while the threads of linen and cotton give a natural handle to this curtain.
