Imagine Synopsis

A vibrant tribute to Isabelle d'Ornano's embroidered cushions-each a handcrafted expression of love and creativity

Isabelle d'Ornano, cofounder of the iconic French skincare house Sisley-renowned for its timeless elegance-is a globally recognized style icon who has always navigated the hustle and bustle of Paris and New York. Yet when the day ends, she returns to calm, retreating into spaces she has crafted with care-places as distinctive as they are extraordinary.

There, in a relaxed suspended space, inspiring words and poems in French and English come to her mind and she embroiders them in a thousand colors on canvas: peace, love, beauty, smile, joy, hope. Letting herself be carried away by creativity, images and memories spring to life under her fingers: stars, suns, Hockney's springs, the gaze of her grandchildren, ladybugs, and butterflies. Words and motifs come together in original tapestries that transform into precious cushions-treasures that Isabelle d'Ornano uses to adorn the Maisons Sisley or offers as heartfelt gifts to those she holds dear.

This book celebrates the colorful cushions embroidered by Isabelle d'Ornano and reveals the secrets of her joyful creations: unique cushions that turn creation into an act of love.
