Each passing moment in the company of Constance Baudeau is punctuated with anecdotes and fascinating stories gleaned from a rich and varied life. Constance‘s career began in the world of Advertising, firstly in Paris and briefly in London, before she established herself in Kaboul. These years in Afghanistan would alter the course of her life. Constance met her husband and lived though a whole host of experiences, that left an impression on both her personal and professional life. We sit and listen with incredulity. Then her story returns to Paris. In France’s exciting capital, she decided to embark on a totally new adventure. With a vast reserve of cultural references, a desire to give back and the encouragement of a friend, Constance created a platform called Gallery Democratic. The idea: quite simply to facilitate the purchasing and selling of furniture design and antiques. Amidst the fabrics, furniture, lighting and small decorative objects, you’ll discover an unbelievable range of authentic pieces bearing the names of Pierre Paulin, Ettore Sottsass and even Nathalie du Pasquier. Constance takes great delight in telling stories, whether they’re about designers she loves or about the latest trends and fashions. Today, her story centres on the ‘folie douce’ of Piero Fornasetti and the ‘return to essentials’ movement that inspired Wabi Sabi. Come with us on an awe-inspiring voyage of discovery.
