MAISON STRATAPARIS

The Maison / Our perspective

Stone,
in motion.

Born in Provence, Maison Strata draws on the light of the South and the presence of stone to imagine objects to carry. PORTALE is the first expression of that idea.

From landscape to line.

A pebble, an opening, a curve the hand recognises.

On paper, we explore the balance between the volume of the shell and the line of the handle. The drawing takes shape, down to the way leather meets the shell.

Form study / 01—03

From block
to pebble.

A solid mass, an opening, a softening curve. This sculptural study tells the story of the idea behind PORTALE.

The film / MAISON STRATA

The Codex.

An inspiration film: architecture, strata and light shape the Maison’s visual world.

Three materials, one presence.

A mineral-look shell, taupe leather, a touch of brass. Contrast is part of the design: the softness of leather extends the line of the shell, while light catches the metal.

With Strate 01, PORTALE opens an edition of one hundred numbered pieces. Alongside them, No. 00 follows its own path: it will be entrusted through a draw.
