MARTA
With its precise balance of strength and refinement, the Marta collection by Martin Massé exemplifies a sophistication rooted in reduction—where form, material, and proportion take precedence over decoration. A distilled expression of modernist Art Deco aesthetics, the works celebrate geometric purity and formal purity, paring back ornamental flourishes that defined earlier Art Nouveau and Arts & Crafts styles. Stripped of excess, each work asserts itself through rigorous symmetry and an interplay of interlocking volumes, creating a precise yet dynamic architectural language
Drawing from Cubism and the streamlined aesthetics of early twentieth-century industrial design, Marta evokes the aerodynamic elegance of period locomotives and automobiles. Its silhouettes, defined by bold curves and sharp intersections, capture a sense of engineered momentum—a visual energy that suggests both stability and movement. The juxtaposition of supple contours with rigid seating elements creates a tension that underscores the collection’s formal dynamism
Marta is available in two exquisite materials that create two distinct narratives: white Estremoz marble offers monumentality and luminous grandeur, while black-stained solid oak creates a sense of contemplative depth and intimacy. The marble emphasizes the collection’s sculptural quality, with honed surfaces that enhance the clarity of each line. The oak versions, in contrast, offer organic warmth, with grain and texture that reinforce the structural rigor and sense of movement of each work
CRAFTED by the master artisans at Atelier Saint-Jacques in France, each work in the Marta Collection is in a limited edition of twelve and serves as a contemporary tribute to the aesthetics of modernity, capturing the rhythm and velocity of a transformative era
