The conversation took place in February 2026 with Camila Naranjo.  Pictures were taken by Carmen Barcelo @carbarcelo.

Here is a translation of our conversation with Camila to English. ;)

C: What is the story behind the name Maisonnette Marguerite — and why Marguerite?

G: One summer in France, a few years ago, I realized how much I enjoyed visiting vintage markets, vide-greniers, and antique fairs, searching for hidden treasures. That summer I imagined a little house (fr. maisonnette), filled with unique objects where people could come and find a special piece for themselves or for someone they love. I called it Marguerite after my own name, and that’s how it all began.

C: Your brand feels like a love letter to the past. What was the first object you found, and why did it spark the beginning of Maisonnette Marguerite?

G: That's so nicely put, thank you! It was in 2024 when I found a set of twelve stainless steel dessert cups shaped like flowers at a flea market in France. I didn’t need them but they seemed far too special to leave behind, so I brought them home even though I didn’t yet have a website or a place to sell them.

Around the same time, in Poland where I come from, I found some traditional Włocławek pottery bowls in an antique shop. A few special pieces later, I launched the website with around eleven items.

C: Your selection feels very intentional. How do you decide what stays and what doesn’t?

G: It’s something very personal. I follow my intuition. As a designer, I’m naturally drawn to design pieces. I choose what I find interesting, inspiring or undeniably beautiful. Over time, I’ve also learned more about the materials. I want my collection to be made up of objects that are as durable as possible.

C: What would you say is the best piece of advice that vintage objects have quietly taught you about life?

G: Waiting is often a way of choosing well. It applies to finding the perfect object, growing your brand, making a difficult decision and many other things.

C: If you could host a dinner featuring your vintage pieces tomorrow, what would the atmosphere be like?

G: I’ll probably organize one soon for the Maisonnette Marguerite community. I imagine a simple, warm, and unpretentious atmosphere. There would be healthy food served in vintage dishes, handwritten notes, a white vintage tablecloth and the subtle elegance of carefully selected everyday objects.
