In the spirit of Salonnières, the hostesses of meaningful gatherings, we use the salon structure in both IRL and URL formats, to extend conversations around nature and culture, to give context for a more beautiful life.

Salonnière Paper 01: An Introduction is a 40-page, full color broadsheet that explores the relationship between public + private space as it relates to the historic salon format, Maison Bodega’s life as a live/work space as well as the biomimetic spiral shape and its many structural and aesthetic implications. The shell grotto, a space for introspection, anchors the metaphors of the interior/exterior while a scallop shell themed dinner with For The Corpse, shows how the madeleine came to be, Proust’s historic relationship with the tiny cake’s dunk into Tilluel tea and how the roads of the Camino de Santiago remind us that there are many paths to one destination.
