Design Excellence by Céline Vanier
What is Hart Design Selection?
Hart Design Selection: “Heritage. Culture. Style.” – The renaissance of a digital design legend
HART DESIGN SELECTION is a bilingual English/French design webzine where you can discover all the current and past gems. A living space dedicated to design, art of living, and all forms of creation that have meaning, breath, emotion.
We don’t chase trends. We seek what makes us vibrate, what touches us.
Our name is the fusion of Heart and Art. Because we believe in design that comes from the heart and speaks to the soul. Hart embodies a unique philosophy summarized in three words: Heritage. Culture. Style.
- Heritage: Respect for ancestral know-how and artisanal traditions
- Culture: Openness to art, architecture, and international influences
- Style: Contemporary and demanding vision of luxury and elegance
Our Editorial Universe: What Drives Us
The Creators
Everything starts with those who create.
At HART, we highlight designers, artisans, artists, decorators, and creators from here and elsewhere. Those who think with their hands, invent with instinct, create with intention.
Whether they reinterpret an ancient motif, explore a rare material, or imagine a new way of inhabiting space, we follow their approaches with attention. We listen to them speak about what drives them: a gesture, an idea, an encounter, a color, a light. Their words are precious, their stories inspiring.

The Spaces
We love entering places that breathe. Not necessarily grandiose, but always right. A country house where each piece of furniture has a story. An urban apartment with a subtle palette. A confidential hotel with decoration thought out in the smallest details.
We help you discover spaces where you feel good, interiors that have a soul, an intention, a rhythm. We dissect decorative choices, we’re interested in material associations, light play, details that make everything. Our approach? Observe with sensitivity, tell with elegance.

The Objects
A beautiful object is a presence. It doesn’t need to do too much: it attracts, intrigues, remains.
At HART, under the “Objects” section we select furniture pieces, lighting, edition objects, ceramics, glass, textiles… Creations that awaken the senses and tell a vision.
We dwell on the material, the form, the gesture that shaped them. We talk about function, of course, but especially about beauty, emotion, resonance.Our selections are designed as sources of inspiration for your interiors, your desires, your projects.

The Atmospheres
Creating a particular decorative ambiance, a true atmosphere also involves materials and attention to detail. A textured wall. A washed linen curtain. Wallpaper that transforms a room.
Materials are at the heart of our approach. They don’t decorate, they inhabit. Raw wood, carved stone, patinated metal, silk, wool, panoramic wallpaper, or embroidered canvas… each material has a voice.
We explore textures, patterns, contrasts, decorative trends. We tell you about the great classics and innovations. Forgotten techniques, bold prints, scale and light play. Here, fabrics and wallpapers hold a central place, because they create an atmosphere, give a soul, tell an intention.

Design History
History is an eternal new beginning and Design is no exception. At HART, we dive into design heritage: movements, styles, remarkable figures. Art nouveau, Bauhaus, modernism, postmodernity, great masters, or cult pieces…
What sources of inspiration for today. Because beauty also travels through time, as history always nourishes and enriches contemporary creation.

The Genesis of Hart: TLD Heritage and Renaissance
2010-2023: The Golden Age of Toute La Décoration
TLD (Toute La Décoration): 13 years of editorial excellence that marked the history of digital design
Hart Design Selection was not born by chance. Behind this reference webzine lies the renaissance of a digital design legend: TLD (Toute La Décoration), created in 2010 by Céline Vanier and having become in just a few years THE essential reference for French-speaking high-end decoration.
TLD quickly established itself as THE French-speaking reference site in high-end decoration thanks to a winning formula: the alliance between Céline Vanier’s expert eye and her ability to transmit her passion with elegance and precision.
The pillars of TLD’s success:
- Exceptional content: In-depth articles, sharp analyses, exclusive discoveries

Hart preserves TLD’s DNA while adapting it to the new challenges of contemporary design:
- Assumed heritage: More than 300 article drafts in stock, fruit of TLD experience
- Expanded vision: Design, decoration, art of living, and artisanal know-how
