French luxury maison, Christofle, brought its signature art de vivre to downtown Manhattan on October 15th, celebrating the launch of its new Club 30 barware collection with an intimate cocktail soirée at Dandelion in the West Village.
Set against the sophisticated backdrop of the neighborhood’s elegant speakeasy, the evening offered a fresh perspective on the nearly 200-year-old house’s approach to French entertaining. Known for its exceptional craftsmanship, timeless silverware, and refined home accessories, Christofle continues to reimagine the art of gathering through contemporary collections that blend heritage with modern luxury.
The celebration welcomed an intimate mix of influencers, creatives, and industry insiders, including Cecilia Jourdan of Hello French, Mary Leest, celebrity stylist Ty Hunter, Melissa Vale, Dan Rubinstein of The Grand Tourist podcast, interior designer Lisa Checo, men’s stylist Lily Montasser, and models Eric Jess and Nicolas Joesten. Model and artist Angeer Mol and entrepreneur Jason Binn were also among the evening’s guests.
At the center of the occasion was Club 30, Christofle’s latest addition to its entertaining universe, bringing the maison’s distinctive design sensibility to the world of cocktail culture. The launch reflects the brand’s ongoing commitment to transforming everyday rituals into memorable experiences, celebrating the connections created when people come together.
The New York celebration also arrives as Christofle introduces “The Gathering,” its latest campaign centered on the art of generous living and the timeless appeal of French hospitality.
Looking ahead, the maison is preparing for an exciting holiday season, including a special collaboration with Bloomingdale’s featuring a monumental, 9.4-foot-tall interpretation of Christofle’s iconic MOOD. The larger-than-life installation will bring a touch of Parisian elegance and the French art of entertaining to the department store before embarking on a journey across America.
With a Miami launch of Club 30 scheduled for October 29th and additional activations on the horizon, Christofle continues to expand its presence in the United States, introducing a new generation to the enduring allure of French luxury and the art of living beautifully.
