After being presented at the Hôtel de la Marine during Paris Design Week, the Minos mirror, designed by Jérémy Pradier-Jeauneau, is currently on view at PAD London.

This piece was born from a collaboration with MAISON LOUIS-MARIE VINCENT, centered on our signature material, Mineral d’Art, an exclusive technique developed in our atelier, based on a confidential and proprietary formulation. The project was conceived using the house’s emblematic materials, which we proposed and defined for this piece: textured Mineral d’Art, cold metal plating with a brass finish, shagreen, and parchment.

Drawn to our multi-material expertise and to the boldness of Mineral d’Art, Jérémy Pradier-Jeauneau chose to make Minos an emblematic expression of our material signature.

The UCHH console in Mineral d’Art was born from an encounter between the creative vision of Charles Tassin, interior architect and co-founder of GALERIE MAY, and the expertise of Louis-Marie Vincent, visual artist and co-founder of MAISON LOUIS-MARIE VINCENT.

For this piece, Charles Tassin drew inspiration from the world of Renaissance Florentine painter Paolo Uccello, and more specifically from his masterpiece The Battle of San Romano (1456–1460), renowned for its graphic intensity and the powerful interplay of horses, armor, and lances, intertwined in an almost sculptural tension.

Imposing yet animated, the UCHH console embraces contrast: at once animal and architectural, medieval and futuristic, massive yet infused with a striking sense of lightness. This lightness is further enhanced by the use of our eco-responsible signature material, Mineral d’Art, developed within our research atelier.

The UCHH console is currently on view at GALERIE MAY, 23–34 rue de Lille, Paris 7th arrondissement.

Starting from pieces of furniture set aside by history, lacking major patrimonial value, an innovative research approach emerged, rooted in an eco-conscious logic of respect, transformation, and material reuse.

Within this framework, the Mobilier national granted carte blanche to designer Thierry Bétancourt and Louis-Marie Vincent, visual artist, to transform the chest of drawers GME 13896, known as “aliénée,” crafted in rosewood with Louis XV style gilt bronzes and topped with a red Languedoc marble slab. Together, they conceived a radical sculptural intervention: a monumental cloud in Mineral d’Art, the signature material developed by MAISON LOUIS-MARIE VINCENT, enveloping nearly the entire piece.

Presented from June 10 to 21 at Les Gobelins, the chest of drawers, now titled La Rêveuse, has since joined the collections of the Mobilier national.
