André Renoux — Past Placemat and Coaster Collections
The Story: Back In 1988, we designed this collection of products exclusively for Williams-Sonoma stores, with the collaboration of some very astute management at the time who wanted to pull off a French cooking celebration month. Under an exclusive licensing arrangement with André Renoux, 12 images were chosen to create two beautiful series for the dining adventure of their customers.
André Renoux is an artist who has made Paris his own. He was the perfect painter / poet to capture the sounds, smells, and taste of Paris. These hardback placemat and coaster tray collections were the beginning of artistic adventures widely imitated today by other artists. Truth of the matter is, there is only one “André Renoux”.
