Love Happens: As our name and the tagline of our publisher, KOKET<\/a>, denotes, at Love Happens<\/em>, we are firm believers that you cannot achieve any level of success without love. When did your love affair with French savoir-faire<\/strong> begin? How did it make you feel?<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Florence Guillier-Bernard:<\/strong> I have always been passionate about art, artists, and their studios. My grandfather was a leather craftsman and saddler. I spent many hours of my childhood watching him work in his studio. I had my first artistic shock when my schoolteacher showed me the painting Starry Night<\/em> by Vincent Van Gogh at the age of 8. From there, I was only interested in museums. I enrolled in classes at the Louvre on Thursdays, and at the end of the sessions, I would stay and get lost in the museum\u2026 <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lh: Tell us a bit about your past and what led to your founding of maison parisienne?<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Florence<\/strong>: When I started my career in the art industry in 2006, I wanted to offer something unique to the French and international art scene, which, at the time, was not really interested in the art of high craftmanship. I decided to establish my own gallery in Paris as I was meeting various artists, potential partners, and personalities from the art world, with a goal of highlighting artisans as well as bringing a contemporary component to the world of French design and craftsmanship. It took me 18 months to organise my first exhibition called \u201cMagie Blanche\u201d in 2008 at the royal suite of the Plaza Ath\u00e9n\u00e9e in Paris, presenting nearly 70 artists. Since then, I\u2019ve organised over 60 events in Paris and Europe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
