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.
our roots
At Maison Venu our mission is to reimagine art. We are collaborators, creators and storytellers. Marrying interiors and fine art, we design and produce thoughtfully curated textile pieces that add interest and character to any space, particularly the home.
We follow a custom fabrication process working closely and directly with specialized artisans from all backgrounds. At every step from conception to completion, we create truly unique and artful textiles.
The intentionality of our products stems from our process. Every step is carefully executed by hand: the designs are hand drawn, the yarn is hand spun, the loom is set up by hand, the base cloth is hand woven, the dye is hand mixed, the pattern is hand printed, the quilt is hand stitched, and the cloth is hand embroidered and stitched. Our process eliminates corporate interference between designer and consumer while glorifying the concept of slow-manufacturing. We believe good things take time –and we are designing something special that will last.
Design is personal. In a market where design feels increasingly detached, Maison Venu aspires to connect artists and buyers. We create products that tell a story and are meant to transcend generations.
meet Olivia, founder & creative director
Maison Venu founder Olivia Massie conceived the brand from a love of textiles, print craft, and a deep rooted personal connection to fabric. After completing her degree in textile design at the University of Georgia, Olivia moved to Jaipur, India, to pursue her interest in the history and creation of textiles and to gain a better understanding of the artisan techniques and processes behind the work.
In 2018 Olivia joined the design team at a textile mill and converter in New York City. With five years of experience working across teams with luxury textile and furnishings brands, Olivia started laying the groundwork for what is now Maison Venu.
For Olivia, patterns and textiles are the backdrop of her most powerful childhood memories. These special recollections along with her experience in textiles and relationships built in India weave together to create an inherently personal, passionfilled brand. Through Maison Venu, Olivia seeks to celebrate traditional artisan techniques with modern design sensibilities. She offers her audience a luxury product that can be a conversation starter, the backdrop to life’s memories, and a beautiful design layer to one’s home.
what’s new at Maison Venu
“I can’t get enough of botanicals: I am constantly drawing and manipulating their shapes and looking for little moments that could create an interesting composition for a colorful, inspired design. This season we continue to introduce unexpected color combinations, and the celebration of traditional hand craftsmanship abounds.
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 this year. Our new Celeste pillow 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 little something different to more familiar motifs (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!”
