La Petite Maison Riyadh, the French Mediterranean restaurant that blends gastronomy with culture, announces an artistic collaboration with renowned French artist Laurence Jenkell, an exclusive encounter between culinary art and contemporary creation that celebrates shared roots in storytelling, beauty, and emotion.
At La Petite Maison, art has always been part of the restaurant’s soul. From its signature design details to its lively atmosphere, every element tells a story of belonging and joie de vivre. The same spirit lives in the work of Laurence Jenkell, whose creations bridge pop culture and fine art with emotion and playfulness. Known globally for her expressive Candy series and vivid canvases, Jenkell’s works, displayed from the Champs-Élysées to museums in the United States and cultural spaces around the world, have become a universal language of joy, transformation, and connection.
This collaboration arrives at a meaningful moment. As Riyadh continues its cultural renaissance, welcoming art and creativity into the heart of its daily life, La Petite Maison brings a piece of the French Riviera’s artistic spirit to the Kingdom. It is a meeting point of stories that intertwine French heritage with Saudi ambition, and global artistry with local curiosity.
Alexandra Filali, Operations Director of Middle East and Asia at La Petite Maison, commented: “Laurence Jenkell’s artistry speaks to the same emotions that define LPM, which are joy, elegance, and shared experience. Bringing this collaboration to Riyadh feels natural, as the city evolves into a vibrant hub for art and culture. Together, we hope to create something that resonates far beyond the walls of the restaurant.”
Laurence Jenkell added: “My work is about generosity, energy, and emotion. Collaborating with La Petite Maison allows me to explore these ideas through a new cultural lens. Riyadh today is full of artistic promise, and it is an honor to share my work as part of this exciting moment.”
Through this collaboration, La Petite Maison continues its journey of celebrating not only cuisine but also culture, connecting people through art, conversation, and the French art de vivre. The collaboration represents a creative dialogue between two French icons who share a passion for craftsmanship, authenticity, and the art of pleasure, expressed through color, texture, and flavor. At the heart of this collaboration stands a monumental candy sculpture filled with LPM’s emblematic tomatoes dserving as a vibrant homage to the restaurant’s identity and spirit.
