Atelier du Renard: Elevating Embroidery to High Art in Interior Design

Magali Renard: The Art of Embroidery as Haute Décoration

Among the world of luxury interior design, the work of Magali Renard stands apart — delicate, meticulous, and breathtaking. Founder of L’Atelier du Renard, this French artist revives the tradition of embroidered decor, crafting exceptional, one-of-a-kind pieces entirely by hand. Her creations, which include headboards, armchairs, folding screens, cushions, and light fixtures, are nothing short of artistic masterpieces.

Each creation tells a story, drawing upon an intimate knowledge of materials and a deep artistic instinct. Magali Renard is a master of balance: between composition and spontaneity, between heritage and innovation. Her works combine sumptuous fabrics — velvet, cotton satin, full-grain leather — with precious elements like Swarovski crystals, Toho and Myuki beads, Noyon lace, or nacrolac sequins.

Her technique goes far beyond decorative flair. It’s a true dialogue between the needle and the eye, between material and imagination. A single headboard might require over 2,000 Toho beads, 700 meters of cotton thread, and hundreds of Swarovski crystals — all hand-sewn with surgical precision.

“Embroidery, for me, is a way to compose space with thread, texture and silence.”
— Magali Renard

Luxury Craft Meets Contemporary Imagination

From private residences to exceptional yachts, Magali’s work has graced many singular interiors. One standout example is a set of embroidered panels for the Isa Yacht shipyards, crafted from Dedar cotton satin and adorned with crystals, natural pearls, nacre, metal sequins, porcelain, and even hand-applied acrylic paint. It’s haute couture, but for interiors — sophisticated, poetic, and absolutely bespoke.

What makes each piece so unique is not only the technique, but also the sensitivity behind it. Whether dressing a wall, a bed, or a chair, the embroidery becomes part of the space — both visually and emotionally. There’s a warmth, a vibration, a sense of timeless beauty.

A Signature Worth Celebrating

At HART, we love creators who blur the line between object and art, who imbue their materials with meaning. That’s why we chose to feature Magali Renard’s work as a tribute to contemporary artisanship at its finest. Her creations are an invitation to dream, to slow down, and to rediscover the poetry of interiors.
