Alexandre de Berny{ 1780-1845 }

Marc de Berny launched two collections:

Sparkx designed by Jean-Louis Deniot, & Munira designed by Francis Sultana.

These two collections celebrate the renaissance of the De Berny name, once a renowned furniture house at

Chateau de Berny in the 19th century, which now as its own brand takes the stage in 2013 as Marc de Berny.

I created Marc de Berny in tribute to my maternal ancestors, cabinet makers of

renown, whose tradition thrived at the Château de Berny in Fresnes from the

18th to the end of the 19th century when a fire halted the legacy.

My passion for creating and manufacturing one of a kind pieces of furniture

has been growing up since I was spending summer holidays in my Grand-

father’s workshop who was a talented blacksmith and a designer of unique

pieces in forged and cast iron.

Rooted in legacy and history, Marc de Berny renews the great tradition of

craftsmen who made the worldwide impact of Europe in the 17th and 18th

centuries: at the time there were no frontiers for creative work and the best

cabinet makers and manufacturers were recruited from all European coun-

tries on the basis of their talents and expertise.

INTRODUCING MARC DE BERNY

Heritage

Marc & Munira Bonnet de Berny are both entrepreneurs, passionate by Decorative

Arts and Design, with both a long experience in craftsmanship, furniture production,

designing and antiques. They have decided to join forces in 2012 when they launched

together Marc de Berny to celebrate the De Berny name, once a renowned furniture

house at Château de Berny.

With projects ranging from bespoke pieces for private residences to palaces, Marc de

Berny has been creating sophisticated and star pieces for interiors and hotels around the

world. Imagined in London and in Paris in combinations of materials and finishes, our

collections respond to the creative and luminous vision of our designers and are made

by the talented artisans using techniques going back centuries as well as new processes

to give the contemporary styling.

Collections

MUNIRA & SPARKX: Collections in Capitals

Jean-Louis Deniot and Francis Sultana: one from Paris and one from London, two histories, two

traditions, but both cosmopolitan, both young, talented and brilliant, spreading throughout

the world their inmost visions of interiors where elegance, chic, well-being and comfort

always respond to two demands: the spirit of places and the expectations of their inhabitants.

These collections build upon the tradition of the great 20th century Interior Designer

Decorators using noble materials (lost-wax bronzes, brass, patent parchment, polished

lacquer-ware, “gouged wood”, hand-woven silks) and traditional assembling, but they intro-

duce here the use of modern techniques and components (resins, glass fibres, vacuum-cast

bronze, iron castings, glazes and brass cut by digital technology) in order to make possible

the expression of these luminous designs, both soft and radiant, which could not technically

have come into being a few decades ago.

Marc de Berny is proud to create a new body of work by these designers, young masters of

the Decorative Arts. The two collections bring together avant-garde variations and classical

reinterpretations.

The look and styling of these two new collections fuse the traditions of the past with the tech-

nology of the future for the look and spirit of the now.

The Munira collection consists of cabinetry, tables, upholstery, & lighting - as in Francis

Sultana’s past collections where bronze featured prominently, the designer has crafted a

new texture which comes up in all of the pieces. Cabinetry covered in parchment but

not in the classical sense; to give a contemporary edge to the parchment it is in a high

gloss that, paired with the chiselled wood and bronze, gives these pieces Francis Sultana’s

signature tailored styling.

When I thought of a furniture house in the true French style, my inspiration should be

that of the late 40s and 50s Paris style, even with a hint of the “style Afrique” as they

called it in Paris.

With the upholstered pieces for the presentation I have mixed classical linen with hand

woven African-inspired patterns.’

The pieces echo the elegance of the 1920s yet inspires memories of the 40s and 50s French

styling. Francis Sultana’s has created a truly sophisticated collection for Marc de Berny.

JEAN LOUIS DENIOT

SPARKX Collection

This collection has been designed by Jean-Louis Deniot to evoke a sunny, positive,

creative feeling throughout the line. An energic and enthusiastic collection including

seating, tables, lighting: a great variation of sunny, lively, playful and newness in silhou-

ettes.

Inspired by vintage architecture, the ‘Sparkx’ collection will suit chic environments and

worldly decors; the richness and effervescence of all finishes, with shiny brass, antique

bronze, high gloss lacquer, gold leaf over forged iron, smoked oak.

The ‘Sparkx’ collection represents the passion and high visions for creative and illuminated

interiors, manufactured by talented handcraft.
