Cartier Brussels — Where High Jewelry Meets Textile Art
Some projects encapsulate, in a single gesture, the soul of a Maison. The Cartier boutique in Brussels is one of them.
Imagined by architects Virginie Friedmann and Delphine Versace, the space unfolds as a true Garden of Métiers d’Art—a place of contemplation where nature, architecture, and exceptional craftsmanship meet with rare poetry. From the very first step inside, visitors are immersed in a universe where savoir-faire becomes landscape.
At the heart of this experience stands a monumental floral fresco created by Laurentine Périlhou’s atelier, conceived as an echo to Cartier’s most emblematic jewelry pieces. Here, high jewelry and macramé intersect, giving life to a singular textile composition inspired by the very spirit of the Maison.
Each element of the work reflects Laurentine’s mastery of material and rhythm: the precision of gesture, the patience of handwork, and the ability to translate the language of jewelry into a tactile, architectural surface. More than a decorative piece, the fresco envelops the space, inviting the visitor into a living dialogue between craftsmanship and nature.
