Welcome to the home of Maison Venu, conceived by Olivia Bienvenu Massie. We believe that textiles have the power to transcend memory. Maison Venu weaves together heritage craft, family roots, and modern design. Loosely translated from French – “maison” meaning house and “venu” from the weclome greeting bienvenue and our founder’s middle name – our name represents the stories our patterns bring to life. We create pieces that start conversations, infuse personality, and offer sanctuary in the home.
what’s new at Maison Venu
Color is on my mind right now. I am always surprised by the way a design is transofrmed through a color palette. It is my favorite part of the design process. Botanical inspiration is noticeable throughout each design in our collections. I am constantly drawing and manipulating their shapes and looking for little moments that could create an interesting composition for a colorful, inspired design.
Leaning into the use of ancient textile techniques and pairing them with original motifs and designs is a practice I will continue to turn to with each new collection. Our new Celeste design has the sweetest touch of contrasting embroidery that elevates the design. We are beginning to offer our most loved Tuileries design in embroidered pillows, and are continuing to marry print and embroidery to add a special touch to more familiar shapes (check out Lorient!).
My passion to pay homage to timeless textiles of ages past through traditional handcraft will continue to lead my design inspiration, but making these our own is the process that feeds my creativity. I can’t wait to hear what resonates with you!
