Extraordinary Collections | Marin Montagut

Marin Montagut has always collected objects with souls whose poetry speaks to the imagination.

During his travels in France, he met many antique dealers and passionate amateurs.

After welcoming us into his house and his workshop, a poetic mix of colors and styles where all the objects in his collections tell a story, Marin takes us on a dive into the heart of the magical world of extraordinary collections.

The journey begins in the Perche, where you will discover a collection of folk art and glassware from yesteryear.

Then, a beautiful Provençal mansion opens up to us which houses ceramics and basketry. On the banks of the Loir, go back in time for an unusual visit to the museum of shops from another century.

We explore the workshop of an art moulder and discover the strange beauty of mannequins of artists from the past.

You put yourself in the shoes of a set designer who has come to look for a period seat for a film.

We sneak through the labyrinth of a writer with a thousand books and paintings, before embarking on a treasure hunt at the Saint-Ouen flea market.

This book is an invitation to rediscover our childhood memories to sublimate our daily lives.
