The Sanctuary

Into Thierry Forbois dream CellArt Space.

“I have a long-standing interior fantasy: an underground living space, away from the noise and distractions of the modern world, dedicated to wine and art. An interior aesthetic to enjoy a sense of sanctuary and retreat, where every elements and details of the space are reduced to essential, as a result of the elimination of the nonessential. A place to rejuvenate by returning to the basics of the joie de vivre: sharing a bottle or two of good wine with a friend, reading poetry aloud, being moved to tears by a great music or listening to what silence has to say...”

Creator of the Way of wine

Absolute Harmony

Into CellArt’s Founder dream CellArt Space.

“I love people, I love art, I love cars, I love music, I love food, but most of all, I love wine. When all these emotions can be shared and lived to their fullest extent, it becomes a feeling like no other. In quest of absolute harmony, the foundation of my dream CellArt Space is based on my deepest passions and life goals, accurately representing where I stand today, and where I shall be standing in the future. In this secret world of mine, I feel free, open-minded, creative and calm. I can dream of the future, get lost in my on thoughts, live a full moment of intimacy, or be fully exposed, completely unleashed, simply enjoying the best of what life has to offer...”

Tears From Stones

Into John Szabo dream CellArt Space.

“The cellar is composed of five separate wine storage spaces, glassed-in and facing onto the central space. They are constructed out of different stone types corresponding to the major geologies in vineyards around the world: sedimentary (limestone), intrusive igneous (granites), fluvial/alluvial (gravels, sandstones), metamorphic (slate/schists), extrusive igneous (volcanics). Each room is stocked of course with wines born of each distinctive geology, an ancient and intuitive, yet unusual way to sort out the vast world of wine. All of the finest wines of the world have a room in this cellar, where diversity and distinctiveness are prized above all...”

The Court

Field of an intense love affair between NBA stars and wine.

LeBron James, Kevin Durant, DeAndre Jordan, Kevin Love, Carmelo Anthony, Jimmy Butler, Dwyane Wade, Steph Curry, Yao Ming, to name but a few: wine is the other playing court of many NBA players. Here is the unique CellArt Space we imagined for these serious wine lovers…

One

In the spirit of contemplation.

“ I imagined a CellArt Space for a single bottle, a mythical wine, an extraordinary bottle. A place to gather and reconnect with the essential, a cocoon to free oneself from the tumult of our daily life where we find the peace that is conducive to the renewal of the soul. In this beautiful space, I have displayed my dream bottle, a Château d'Yquem 1811, the very same way this fantastic wine is preserved in the cellar of my dear friend Michel-Jack Chasseuil. Of this treasure, I will probably never taste. Why imagining a cellar for a unique and very special bottle, you can ask?  Just because, to be able to really appreciate it, one must first dream about it... “
