A bottle coaster that elegantly enhances the table while protecting it from drips.—Ruinart, established in 1729 as the world's first Champagne house, has realized a triple collaboration with French artist Hervé Van der Straeten and Maison Christofle.
This entirely new bottle coaster is designed by Hervé Van der Straeten, drawing inspiration from the opulent 18th-century bottle cooler, the 'Rafraîchissoir'.
Its elegant form and the beautiful sparkle of its facets seem to celebrate the magnificence of Chardonnay, the rare grape used to create the pale gold, elegantly flavored Blanc de Blancs "Ruinart Blanc de Blancs." This bottle coaster, a masterpiece of table art crafted by Maison Christofle, will beautifully adorn any table.
Hervé Van der Straeten
Hervé Van der Straeten, an artist whose work transcends mere craftsmanship, utilizes prestigious materials such as crystal, copper, marble, and silver to express the contrast between material and form. His creations span a wide range, including mirrors, cabinets, chandeliers, lighting fixtures, incense burners, and jewelry. In all of them, he pursues graphic purity, exploring movement, elegance, and unpredictable, unconventional expressions.
In 2007, he was awarded the title of 'Entreprise du Patrimoine Vivant' (Living Heritage Company) by the French government, recognizing his contribution to intangible cultural heritage.
