The Clos des Fées Estate commissions a work of art from Jordane Saget… set against a backdrop of Saury barrels.

More accustomed to the asphalt of the capital than to the centuries-old oaks used in cooperageJordane Saget has masterfully elevated this unique medium, evoking the art of painting on tondo, a round surface typical of the Italian Renaissance.

Commissioned by the Clos des Fées, this project is a stunning homage to French oak and the craftsmanship of our coopers..

Jordane Saget’s undulating lines have captivated the art world and street art enthusiasts alike. His collaborations with renowned figures such as Jean-Charles de Castelbajac and Agnès B. continue to multiply.

For his work with Clos des Fées, Jordane traded his usual chalk for a graffiti marker, better suited to the wooden surface a medium he had never worked with before.

Jordane finds meaning in creating art that resonates with his personal journey. When Clos des Fées invited him to create a piece, he accepted without hesitation. Having often praised the estate’s wines to his clientele during his time in the restaurant business on Rue Vieille du Temple in Paris, the connection was natural.

During a discussion about the Charlois Group’s cultural initiatives and the creative energy it fosters across its maisons, Jordane expressed curiosity. When he learned about the tattooed barrels by Yannick Meziani at the La Grange cooperage, his interest was piqued. The idea of experimenting with pyrography, a technique new to him, intrigued the artist, and he expressed confidence in the potential beauty of the results.

Could Jordane Saget’s iconic flowing lines one day lead him to the heart of the Bertranges Forest for a new collaboration? Only time will tell. Stay tuned for what may come next…

*Painting on a round surface, known as tondo, is a hallmark of the Italian Renaissance.
