Prelle Manufacture, silk fabrics since 1752

Richard Peduzzi's Indiscretion

From November 10, 2011 - March 30, 2012

In the Prelle Paris show room, 5 Place des Victoires: This Fall, the Paris show room will premier « Imprudences » : a series of hand crafted furnishings that combine the elegant and smooth lines of renowned designer Richard Peduzzi with the daring colors of Prelle's fabrics....

The combination of Peduzzi’s sleek wood and iron forms with the brilliant chromatic schemes of Prelle's silks results in creations that are at once bold and voluptuous.

This past year, Mr Peduzzi has applied his talents as set designer in Patrice Chereau's productions of Rêve d'Automne and I am the Wind performed in France and England. After creating the scenery of Tosca for the Metropolitain Opera House, Richard Peduzzi will return to New York as set designer for Elektra in the coming months. As architecte and furniture designer he is often found at Clerc Milon where he is currently building a demeure for the Rothschilds.

Prelle is greatly honored that Mr Peduzzi has chosen to partner his art and craftsmanship with the manufacture's centuries-old savoir-faire.

Every day of the business week from 9am to 18pm except Friday to 17h.
