More than a presentation, the evening unfolded as a celebration of creative exchange, where conversations flowed between timeless elegance, design and tradition. From the Art of Making Champagne, explored in the presence of Guillaume Frerejean Taittinger, to the Art of Hand Block–Printed Wallpaper, a tribute to artisanal craftsmanship, the event echoed this year’s Paris Déco Off theme, “Behind the Scenes.” In the intimate atmosphere of the gallery, surrounded by works of art and richly textured walls, the spirit of Paris Déco Off revealed itself in its most authentic form, highlighting shared values of patience, precision and savoir-faire.
The following morning, the rhythm softened into something equally elegant. Watts1874 welcomed a select group of influencers, Parisian tastemakers and international guests for an intimate breakfast within the showroom. Tables were set with traditional English tea, delicate French pastries and seasonal delights. Between cups of Royal Blend and buttery croissants, guests explored new collections guided by the creative team. In the golden morning light, colours revealed subtle nuances, textures gained depth and decorative details invited closer attention.
Travelling from London for the occasion, Jean de Caraman Chimay and Marie-Séverine de Caraman Chimay welcomed guests throughout the week with warmth and vision. Through their eyes, the World of Watts 1874 unfolded as both a living heritage and a creative in-house studio.
From candlelit conversations to sunlit breakfasts, the Parisian gatherings embodied the house’s essence, cultured and convivial, with a discerning eye for refined, inspiring interiors. They unfolded over a week honouring craftsmanship and creativity, culminating in an unforgettable evening shaped by genuine connection and shared moments.
