The Salon is a manifestation of Jessica's inspirations. As the curator, Jessica wants to create an environment full of juxtapositions where jewellery, curiosities, antiques, furniture, objects, contemporary art and installations are constantly changing and evolving. The Salon has been described as 'France circa Marie Antoinette meets Andy Warhol's Factory'. It is place where people feel free to take a step back in time and a leap into the future.
The Salon encapsulates Jessica's vision that luxury is about individual experiences, not measured in monetary terms but in emotional ones.
