“Creation is what brings us closest to the divine.”
— Isabelle d’Ornano
The art of sharing
As enthusiasts of all forms of art, Isabelle and Hubert d’Ornano have involved their favourite artists in Sisley’s incredible journey since the creation of the brand. These partnerships in the name of beauty have sometimes continued over the years and left an enduring mark on the brand’s history.
Bronislaw Krzysztof
Polish sculptor and family friend Bronislaw Krzysztof has designed some of the most iconic Sisley fragrance caps and bottles.
In 1998, he was commissioned by Hubert and Isabelle d’Ornano to produce some ten sculptures. One of his works was chosen to adorn Eau du Soir, followed by a second one a few years later for the launch of Soir de Lune.
More recently, he designed the Izia bottle, which he dressed in a mysterious glossy lacquer for Izia La Nuit, and came up with the refined design of Les Eaux Rêvées.
Elzbieta Radziwill
Since 2018, artist Elzbieta Radziwill has brought her colourful and dreamlike style to the limited editions of Ecological Compound, adorning them with extravagant flowers, trees, butterflies and showy fish.
A poetic signature that can be admired in certain Sisley Maisons, in France and abroad, thanks to the presence of furniture elements (chandeliers, armchairs, etc.) decorated by the artist.
Sydney Albertini
A childhood friend of Sisley Managing Director, Christine d’Ornano, with whom shares a love for beautiful things, Sydney Albertini is a fully rounded artist who works with paint, sculpture, ceramics and textiles.
She created the 2020 limited edition of Eau du Soir, which she dressed in a fanciful abstract sky recalling the first glimmers of light.
A further collaboration in 2022 saw her adorn the bottle with an abstract portrait, covered in prints as bold and as powerful as the Eau du Soir woman. To mark the occasion, Trois Cinq Friedland exhibited the work of the French-American artist for the first time in France.
Trois Cinq Friedland
Since 2017, Trois Cinq Friedland has offered a cultural program of exhibitions, film premieres, literary events and talks and debates. Year after year, it presents an exciting new line-up of eclectic events, reflecting the tastes of the d’Ornano family.
Located at the brand’s Paris headquarters, just a stone’s throw from the Arc de Triomphe and the Champs-Élysées, Trois Cinq Friedland recently hosted an exhibition by painter Barbana Bojadzi, the 2023 winner of the Sisley Beaux-Arts de Paris Award for Young Creators.

“Art needs to be supported.”
— Christine d’Ornano
Sisley Managing Director
In 2020, Sisley joined forces with the Beaux-Arts de Paris to create the Sisley Beaux-Arts de Paris Award for Young Creators. This award, awarded by a jury chaired by Christine d'Ornano and composed of influential figures from the world of art, design and culture, aims to promote the emerging contemporary art scene and to publicize the work of recently graduated students. from the prestigious school.
The announcement of the winner is followed by an exhibition of their works at the Sisley headquarters, as part of the Trois Cinq Friedland cultural season.
In 2023, Ymane Chabi-Gara – winner of the 2022 Award – was invited to collaborate with the brand on the limited edition of Eau du Soir. This is a way for Sisley to continue to support the work of these young artists above and beyond the Award.
A home for art
The Maisons Sisley across France and around the world convey the cultural and artistic tastes of the d’Ornano family and Isabelle d’Ornano, co-founder of the brand, in particular. Her eclectic personal signature makes them unique destinations where works of art can be found alongside antique items, creations bought at auction and travel souvenirs.
