Our Story

Founded in 1990 in Paris by Marie Daâge, in the tradition of the historic Parisian porcelain ateliers of the 19th century, the Maison developed an artistic vocabulary that treated porcelain like fabric—mixing patterns in the spirit of haute couture and breaking away from the rigidity of traditional tableware. Drawing on 18th-century decorative codes—grisailles, chinoiseries, indiennes—she introduced an approach built on freedom, layering, and personalisation, designed to evolve with the seasons, the space, or the occasion.

Since 2017, the Maison has been led by her daughter Axelle, who has been instrumental in shaping its current identity. Trained in classical drawing at the Louvre and shaped by years working across the Middle East and Africa, Axelle brings a sharp creative vision, and editorial eye. Axelle’s husband, Mathieu, also joined the Maison and plays an instrumental role in its sustainable development—guiding long-term initiatives related to responsible production and social impact.

In recent years, Isaure, the youngest daughter, joined the Maison after formal training in Limoges porcelain techniques. She now manages the workshop and ensures quality and continuity in production. Her presence anchors the Maison in the day-to-day of craft—where the work is not only done but passed on.

In 2020, the Maison opened its flagship store and creative studio at 12 Rue de Tournon in Paris, in the 18th century heritage-listed Grand Hôtel d’Entragues. The space was designed not only to display the collections, but to welcome clients into the creative process—offering a tactile, visual, and personal experience of the brand.
