Champalimaud & THG

Alexandra is an elegant style maker and constant collaborator with a never-ending curiosity. She famously celebrates color, embraces a sense of place, and champions artisanal traditions. The result, even in the most modern of projects, is unique, warm, and authentic. With Alexandra’s formal decorative arts education and a confident, global perspective, her work bridges East and West, classic and contemporary, and is in a category–and league–of its own.

I love the challenge of taking the mundane and making it innately extraordinary. The collection with THG Paris is largely inspired by teapots, especially from the Art deco period. Visually, I started seeing the angles and its spout as faucets and fixtures. On a conceptual level, the beauty of teapots and tea service elevates the simple ritual of drinking tea. That’s what we’re doing here for the bathroom, elevating the experience.
