The Félicité collection is inspired by Rinck’s history, our DNA, blending 18th-century and Art Deco influences with contemporary creation while remaining determinedly cutting-edge in how it works materials.
With the 2020 Félicité collection, Rinck picks up the threads of its history, recalling its annual furniture collections from the 1930s to the 1970s.
This decidedly contemporary collection nevertheless gives discreet yet discernable nods to Rinck’s venerable history.

In March 2020, while planning our September event, the Rinck team was overcome by a great yearning for insouciance, a desire for a life that was again carefree. Locked down like the rest of the world, we imagined getting together, sharing a drink, seeing exhibits, going out on the town, dancing. Rather like reminiscing about a simpler – albeit idealized – world of the late Seventies while standing in the midst of the unprecedented challenges of 2020. So our teams dreamed up a colorful interior, that of an enthusiastic collector, a man who would have invited us to have a drink at his place – after coming out of the legendary Le Palace nightclub – to watch the sun come up over Paris.
If you follow us on any social network, or if you have already read any coverage of Rinck, or if you had the opportunity to read the special issue ofConnaissance des Artsmagazine that featured our company, you are sure to have noticed at least one thing: Rinck calls itself an “Ensemblier Décorateur.”
Armoires and cupboards, tables and chairs, sofas and beds : Of all the furniture handed down to us by history, the piece that is surely the most powerfully linked to the evolution of society is the desk. The reasons for this are clear when we recall this object’s primary purpose : writing.
In 1368, while the Hundred Years’ War was still raging in France, five thousand miles away, China’s new Hongwu Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang had ousted the Mongols from power and established the Ming dynasty. Galvanized by the end of foreign dynastic domination, the Middle Empire closed its borders to the rest of the world, with very few exceptions. Seventy years earlier, in 1298, the story of a Venetian merchant in the court of Kublai Khan had sparked tremendous interest in Europe.
