Line Vautrin is one of those archetypally French personalities - others are Cocteau, Piaf and Christian Berard - whose talents are compounded of dreams, poetry, images from the past and a mischievous sense of fun. Since she was five years old, she has, like an alchemist turning base metals into gold, transformed humble materials into miracles of beauty and imagination. Even the war-time scarcity of metals did not stop her; they made invention all the more important. Her career took off from a shop in the Rue du Faubourg Saint-Honore and a Louis XV hotel in the Marais, housing her workshops, showroom and apartment, which became a veritable Aladdin's cave.
Like Schiaparelli, Vautrin pioneered designer buttons; but hers were part of a range of jewelry that is utterly unlike anyone else's: made in a variety of substances from gilt bronze to resin, and in forms inspired by ancient Greek coins, medieval folk art, animals, word-games, or, in her extraordinary abstract ensembles, the material itself. From jewelry, her love of handiwork and inventing shapes led her on to sculpture, and finally to an altogether new art-form which she calls "pellimorphoses."
But Line Vautrin is much more than the sum of her inventions: she is a part of history, and her work is sought by museums. This tribute is the first to fix the shifting colors of her life in permanent form. Vautrin herself has contributed a witty autobiographical sketch, and supervised the layout of her pieces in the color plates, while Patrick Mauries supplies a knowledgeable assessment of her work.
An incarnation of the ideal Parisienne, Line Vautrin has been fashioning whimsical, charming objects for decades. Now a new audience has the chance to enter her enchanted world.

High quality
Format: Paperback, Format: Paperback
I was amazed at how affordable this was for such a high quality book. The layout is spaced out beautifully so the pages don't look cluttered, and the large text is crisp and dark. The cover and pages feel very premium. A great investment into my spiritual life.

Transformative
Format: Paperback
I rarely write reviews, but this book truly deserves it. From the moment I started reading, I realized this was not just another edition of scripture—it felt like stepping into a deeper, more complete spiritual library. The inclusion of texts like Enoch and Jubilees adds layers of meaning that are often missing from more familiar versions. I found myself pausing often to reflect because the content is so rich and thought-provoking. The large print is an absolute blessing. I spend a lot of time reading each day, and this format has significantly reduced eye strain. It allows me to fully immerse myself without discomfort, which is something I didn’t realize I needed until I experienced it. What I appreciate most is how this book bridges curiosity and faith. It invites you to explore, question, and learn while still feeling grounded. Whether you’re a long-time student of scripture or just beginning your journey, this edition offers something meaningful. It has quickly become one of the most important books in my personal library.
