Robert Goossens trained as a goldsmith before Coco Chanel asked him to reimagine her Byzantine jewellery in gilded bronze and rock crystal — a commission that launched decades of work for Chanel and Yves Saint Laurent, and eventually a house Chanel acquired outright. The Glory & Coral mirror carries that jeweller’s precision into the home, its brass frame finished in a 24-carat gold bath until it reads less like furniture than an object from a vitrine.
The shine is deliberate: every piece passes through the same gilding process Goossens has used since the 1950s.
Following their meeting in 1953, Gabrielle Chanel encouraged Robert Goossens to create his first decorative objects: a trio of gilded bronze lions supporting a rock crystal globe, followed by a water lily pedestal table and a table with a wheat sheaf base. These are now among Goossens’ most iconic creations. By entering the world of decorative arts, Goossens Paris demonstrated his ability to move from the scale of jewellery to that of furniture and art objects, using the same signature materials (gold-plated metal and rock crystals) and the same tools and techniques.
