An artistic fusion of French pâtisserie and iconic modern art, inspired by Matisse’s joyful palette.
Dubai, UAE, May 2025 —This summer, Ladurée collaborates with Maison Matisse to honor the vivid artistry of Henri Matisse. The partnership introduces a limited-edition macaron box inspired by Matisse's 1952 masterpiece, La Perruche et la Sirène, reflecting the shared creative spirit of both houses.
The 12-macaron box features bold blue, vivid orange, radiant red, and shimmering pink hues, echoing Matisse's signature cut-outs. Inside, a vivid blue interior reminiscent of a summer sky with a handwritten quote from Matisse's 1947 Jazz album: "There are flowers everywhere for those who want to see them."
Executive Pastry Chef Julien Alvarez draws inspiration from Matisse's fondness for vanilla and citrus, crafting the new gourmet collection. The macaron blends notes of vanilla, mandarin, clementine, and yuzu, while the Matisse Vanilla & Citrus Entremets combines shortbread biscuit, soft biscuit, caramel, orange-clementine marmalade, and vanilla cream.
The Ladurée & Maison Matisse collection will be available from May 28, 2025 with the Matisse Vanilla & Citrus Entremets for AED 55 at Dubai Mall and AED 52 at all other UAE outlets; and the macaron box for AED 210 at all UAE outlets.
Experience a fusion of art and patisserie that celebrates the joy of color and flavor.
