"Both my work and the Venice Simplon-Orient-Express are very artisanal, so L'Observatoire felt like a natural fit. Working with artisans, choosing woods and materials, and discovering motifs was not a constraint, because I am interested in making this a timeless artwork - as if I was an artist from the 1920s. I have added some features that are only possible in the 21st century but the fundamental craft is timeless."
"The carriages have traveled through countless decades and eras, so I wanted to find a new way to approach them, maintaining the connection to this deep story."
"Described by the brand as an 'artwork in motion' and a 'studio on wheels,' L'Observatorie has been thoughtfully filled with objet d'arts and quirky artistic features, all of which have been handpicked by JR to invoke a sense of childlike adventure and curiosity."
