about the designer

Maison Balzac was created in Australia in 2012 by French-born Elise Pioch Balzac to express her endless imagination. What started as a collection of five perfumed candles has become a homeware world of its own, exploring the beauty of hand-blown coloured glassware, trompe l'oeil linen, colourful platters and unusual fragrances. We invent intriguing and playful objects to trigger emotions around the dining table, transforming the everyday act of eating or drinking into quirky, memorable moments.
