THE TEAM

Céline Marcato

Céline Marcato fell in love with design thanks to her friend Rossella Peruzzi. Céline started to collect design through Galleria O. Roma before deciding to finance and promote the activity of the gallery. After 5 years of collaboration, Céline opened her own place in Monaco. She has been organizing and promoting the Collection Baroco Roccoco by the Campana brothers, and is behind the exhibition Dangerous Luxury in Montecarlo at the Jardin d’hiver. Convinced that vintage and contemporary design should be combined, she is also behind the project Modern meets Contemporary: A serie of exhibitions, in collaboration with 11Columbia in Montecarlo, to sensibilize the public to the importance of design and the harmony between modern and contemporary. Her private villa in Roquebrune is the perfect example of artists and designers she collects; it is also the place where she invites private collectors and clients for dinners in company of artists.
