ICONIC SYMBOLS OF MOËT & CHANDON HISTORY

To honor its rich heritage serving celebrations for over 281 years, Moët & Chandon and the contemporary embroidery artisans of Atelier Baqué Molinié have conceived eleven exquisitely embellished symbolic objects, on display in Epernay from May 18th, 2024.

Over the centuries, Moët & Chandon has forged diverse and long-lasting connections to excellence, world culture, royal courts and, most importantly, nature and its bountiful grape harvest.

Eleven figurative representations recall these ties, and are transformed into jewel-like art objects, emblematic “totems” for Moët & Chandon; final renderings of dynamism and light express a layered and living history.

Preliminary sketches made by Atelier Baqué Molinié will also be shown, inviting visitors into the creative process at large.

Embroidered sculptures by Baqué Molinié

Paris-based Atelier Baqué Molinié lend their skilled craftsmanship, innovative approach, and a touch of sparkling visual poetry to the objects.

Working with many of France’s storied Haute Couture fashion Houses as special-project embroiderers, their involvement reinforces Moët & Chandon’s long-standing relationship with fashion and the unique French tradition of Haute Couture.

Atelier Baqué Molinié have invested hours of planning and, above all, elaborate hand embroidery and beading into each object. Their creation required eight months of work; an additional atelier was created exclusively for this specific and innovative project.
