The latest design creations this Christmas

This year, do you want your Christmas decoration to really stand out? Do you want to wow your guests with a unique, modern and upscale decor for a New Year's party? Engel & Völkers offers you an overview of the latest design trends for this Christmas 2018. 

Candles to illuminate your interior 


What would Christmas decorations be without candles? Their light and softness plunge you into the warm atmosphere of the holiday season. To illuminate your home with unique design objects, discover Laura Gonzalez's first collection of candles. As an interior designer, she believes it is candles that change the atmosphere of a room. 

This year, Laura Gonzalez embarked on decorative creation for the first time with her range of candles inspired by naturalistic sculptures. The green and blue colours are reminiscent of nature and are in perfect harmony with this year's Christmas design trends. For your festive decorations, these candles will create a traditional warm atmosphere with a touch of modernity and prestige. 

A unique graphic table centrepiece 


If you are a fan of design, we have found you the ideal centrepiece for your Christmas table decoration. Whether as a gift under the tree or on the table decoration, this delicate object will delight the most knowledgeable and seduce the lovers of Made In France. 

Named EOLE by its creator Constance Guisset, this high-end lemon-shaped table centre will surprise you with its lightness and purity. This item will give your Christmas table a poetic, stylish and elegant side to break away from traditional decorations. 

A modern Christmas bauble


We can not talk about Christmas decoration without mentioning the famous Christmas baubles. Hanging from the tree or hanging from the windows as a backdrop, they are essential for the end of year festivities. For some time, designers have seized this traditional object to make their creations ever more elegant and surprising. 

As every year, the International Glass Art Centre, Meisenthal presents an original creation of a designer from the region. In 2018, the designer Nathalie Nierengarten reinvents the Christmas bauble. Granddaughter of a glassblower, she succeeds in combining know-how and creativity in her realization which is directly inspired by nature. 

Indeed, the Christmas baubles she offers us are artichoke-shaped. This proximity to nature gives a particular sensitivity to its creation which makes it a rare and prestigious luxury object. 

A Yule log signed Pierre Gagnaire and Richard Orlinski 


If you want to wrap up your holiday meal with a dazzling festive log, go to the prestigious Le Fouquet's brewery in Paris. This year, the famous Chef Pierre Gagnaire has teamed up with the designer Richard Orlinski to design an extraordinary Christmas chocolate log. 

You will first be surprised by its shape. A chocolate panda designed with an angular appearance. Your tastebuds will then be transported on a sensational journey with his shortbread biscuit, caramelized hazelnuts and orange zest. This upscale and original Christmas log is a limited edition and will delight your guests during your Christmas Eve.
