The Collection that Embodies Tactile Elegance and Material Sophistication

Following Natural Disco in 2024, Collection Particulière returns to the Mudima Foundation in April 2025 with VELOURIA—a title borrowed from the Pixies’ 1990 track on Bossanova. Don’t bother searching for it in a dictionary; VELOURIA is more sensation than definition—a whisper of velvet, a fleeting touch, an intuition. Perhaps she’s a character: erudite, exacting, and deeply passionate. A connoisseur of materials and moods, she’s drawn to contrasts—velvet and wood, warmth and coolness, refinement and rawness. Her spirit inhabits the space: in the way objects converse, clash, and connect.

Christophe Delcourt

Nonetheless, the collection presents a curated selection of sculptural furniture and objects that embody tactile elegance and material sophistication. Each design reflects the brand’s commitment to blending traditional materials with contemporary design sensibilities. The presentation of the collection at Mudima Foundation was elevated by some precious artwork by renowned artists.

Velouria Collection by Collection Particulière:
Vestibule by Christophe Delcourt
The vestibule introduces VELOURIA with the sculptural poise of the TIO armchairs—compact, assertive, and confidently drawn. Their inclined backs recall the deckchairs of transatlantic crossings, while softened silhouettes and welcoming armrests express an invitation to linger. Their edgy geometry meets the gentle tactility of LINN fabric in a poised tension between strength and softness. Nearby, the ELP wall light continues the studio’s dialogue with grogged clay—a material at once raw and noble. With toasted hues and a glazed surface, it reads like a fragment of earth suspended in light. Anchoring the space, the LOB coffee table—now in brushed smoked oak—grounds the ensemble in a palette of mineral calm and tactile richness.

Boudoir
At the center of the boudoir, the LIL chaise longue and ottoman by Christophe Delcourt

create a dual form—mirrored, harmonious, and quietly sensual. Their shared asymmetry and supple geometry suggest intimacy, evoking the instinctive comfort of bodies leaning into one another. The exclusive fabric is from OTERO fabric (Delcourt Textiles) . The ELSA side table by Luca Erba , with its tripod bronze base and delicate top—thinner than a record—reads like a drawing in space. Imperfect yet refined, it celebrates the tension between rawness and elegance, its mobile silhouette capturing light as if in perpetual motion.

Writing Desk by Christophe Delcourt
In the writing alcove, the ELB chair is conceived as a sculptural counterpart to the JEF desk. Its stainless-steel frame, hammered and expressive, echoes the language of wrought iron, while the leather-clad backrest envelopes the sitter in soft precision. Balancing minimalism with a tribute to French decorative tradition, ELB embodies both restraint and warmth—utility rendered poetic.

Lounge by Christophe Delcourt  with the exception of B-Side Bedsite table/Side table by Grégoire de Lafforest
MIK side table/low console, a trio of ceramic modules in deep black glaze, evokes classical references with its fluted forms and capital-inspired geometry. Versatile in both structure and use, the elements serve as console, pedestal, or side table—alone or in infinite combinations. In contrast, MIU side table/low console is a singular gesture in mahogany: a base that spirals upward, dissolving seamlessly into the tabletop. Its quiet sophistication lies in its invisibility—the elegance of a design that hides its virtuosity. B-SIDE bedside table/side table offers a cabinet of secrets in contemporary form, with faceted walnut planes concealing storage behind one discreet door, and a raised upper surface that frames treasured objects. Here, NED armchairs and the FAO sofa converse in soft, spring-inflected tones—a chromatic dialogue that adds warmth to the scene, where every curve and junction is tuned to human scale.

Dining
The EUS screen by Christophe Delcourt defies its traditional function. Rather than conceal, it reveals—its staggered spruce panels and sculptural wooden fastenings creating a rhythmic interplay of light and shadow. It frames and softens the setting, resonating with the curves of the YAB dining table by Yabu Pushelberg and the LUM chairs by Christophe Delcourt. Together, they compose a setting of refined conviviality, where form, function, and atmosphere converge.
