Duni Group and Musée de la Toile de Jouy Unite in a Unique Design Collaboration

Duni Group is launching a new collection in partnership with the French heritage museum Musée de la Toile de Jouy. The collection merges French craftsmanship tradition with Scandinavian design, featuring tableware products adorned with the historic pattern Les Quatre Parties du Monde, created in 1790 by Jean-Baptiste Huet.
MALMÖ, Sweden, May 28, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- This exclusive collaboration marks the first time this classic Toile de Jouy motif is made available to a wider consumer market - in the form of modern and sustainable tableware products. The collection is developed with a focus on quality, aesthetics, and cultural heritage, targeting a design-conscious audience.
- "We are deeply honored and inspired to collaborate with Musée de la Toile de Jouy. Their rich design heritage meets our passion for sustainable table setting - together, we have created something both beautiful and meaningful. We hope this collection sparks curiosity, joy, and fosters new stories around the table," says Karen Marini, Marketing and Brands Manager, Duni Group.
The Les Quatre Parties du Monde pattern, taken directly from the Musée de la Toile de Jouy archives, is based on Cesare Ripa's Iconologia and depicts the four then-known continents - Europe, Asia, Africa, and America - surrounded by an exotic array of wildlife. The collection is offered in three elegant colors - blue, burgundy, and black - that both highlight the pattern and provide flexibility to create classic or contemporary table settings. The range includes carefully selected tableware items in various formats - from Dunicel® tête-à-tête to napkins in both classic 3-ply quality and sustainable Bio Dunisoft® material.
- "Through this collaboration, Duni masterfully embraces the textile heritage to illuminate this cultural legacy at the dining table and carry forward the spirit of Christophe-Philippe Oberkampf. The subtle beauty of the Toile de Jouy motifs and the depth of their stories are sure to captivate the eye and spark the imagination with this refined collection," says Chrystel Delin, Development and Communications Manager at the Musée de la Toile de Jouy.
The collection is launched primarily in its home market of France but is also represented in other selected European markets. It forms part of Duni's long-term commitment to the premium segment. Through this collaboration, Duni strengthens its position as an innovative design partner successfully combining cultural heritage with contemporary lifestyle and sustainable development.

11 historic mansions from HBO's 'The Gilded Age' that you can visit in real life

However, visitors of all economic brackets can visit many of the historic opulent estates that serve as film sets for HBO's show " The Gilded Age." The show shoots at real mansions from the time period, many of which are now museums, to create authentic portrayals of the characters' exorbitant wealth. Season three of "The Gilded Age" premieres June 22 on HBO. Here are 11 Gilded Age mansions where the show filmed that offer tours of their magnificent properties. "If you visualize the setting lit by the gas of the period, it would have given you the impression of being outdoors at sunset," Paul Miller, a curator at Rosecliff, said of the ceiling painting in the audio tour. A French sculptor named mile Guillemin created the bronze statues on either side of the staircase, and the painting on the stairway depicts the biblical Tree of Life."What we have here is a perfect example of how no surface would go untouched by an artistic hand," Leslie Jones, the director of museum affairs and chief curator at the Preservation Society, said in the audio tour. "So it really is an example of how this house is a work of art itself."The stairwell also appeared as part of Mamie Fish's house in New York City in HBO's "The Gilded Age." Hunter House was originally built in 1748. Hunter House actually dates back to the colonial times, generations before the Gilded Age began. It even played a role in the Revolutionary War as the headquarters for the French fleet, per The Preservation Society of Newport Hunter House in good shape led to the creation of the Preservation Society in 1945, per the Society's are guided tours held daily (excluding Sundays and Mondays) from 9:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. On the show, one of the sitting rooms is used as lawyer Tom Raikes' office. In the show, Raikes' office is in Doylestown, Pennsylvania. It's one of the first non-New York City locations we see on the show. Belcourt was built in 1894 for the socialite Oliver Hazard Perry Belmont in Rhode Island. This 50,000-square-feet, 60-room summer home was modeled after King Louis XIII's hunting lodge at property was known for its extensive stables and carriage space, which makes sense: You may recognize his last name from the Belmont Stakes, the annual horse race in Elmont, New York, that was named for his father, August Belmont is open for both guided tours during the day and candlelight walks and ghost tours in the evenings. Westbrook was built in 1886 in the Tudor Revival style. Inside, there are 60 rooms (and 20 fireplaces).Westbrook's main draw, though, is its gardens. The house is now located inside the Bayard Cutting Arboretum State Park, which is home to 691 acres of plants, trails, and are separate guided tours of the arboretum and Westbrook available seasonally. There's also the Hidden Oak Caf, which is located inside Westbrook and offers the option to take "Victorian Tea," complete sandwiches, scones, and tea. It was used during season one of the show. The Cuttings were part of the famed "Four Hundred" list, which was published by The New York Times in the 1890s. It named the 400 most socially acceptable people living in New York even though only their house has popped up on the show, the real Cutting family could too. The Glenview Mansion was built in the 1870s in Yonkers, a city in Westchester County, New York. It was built for the financier John Bond Trevor, who was partners with James Boorman Colgate (yes, of those Colgates).After the Trevors sold the home to the city of Yonkers, it became part of the Hudson River Museum, which is still open today. The interior of Glenview was used as the interior of Mrs. Astor's home. The entry staircase at Glenview has appeared multiple times throughout the show.

Signs Your Baby Is Highly Sensitive, According to a Child Psychologist

Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. A TikTok video of a baby crying during a song from The Little Mermaid has sparked heartwarming discussion online about highly sensitive children. In the video, Allie, the baby's aunt, filmed the moment her niece swelled with emotion in accordance with the Disney song. Many viewers in the comments speculated that the baby might be experiencing "frisson"—a French term for the physical chills some people get when emotionally moved by music. But could this be something else entirely? Newsweek spoke to Allie, 32, along with a child psychologist to better understand the adorable phenomenon. Allie said that she has seen her niece, Eleanor, have such a strong response to music has been incredible to witness—and started early. Photos from Allie's TikTok video of her baby niece. Photos from Allie's TikTok video of her baby niece. @alliemorganb/TikTok "[It] has been so precious because it's such raw emotion coming out that she obviously can't control, and shows what a tender heart she has," Allie explained. "She has been reacting this way to certain songs since she was six months old." The first time Eleanor showed this emotional response was when her dad was singing Faithfully by Journey around the house. At first, he thought she might be fussy, but after he sat down and continued singing, Eleanor continued to get emotional at certain parts of the song, Allie said. Eleanor's deep emotional sensitivity to music shouldn't come as too much of a surprise, though—her family is filled with musicians and singers. Allie went on to say that Eleanor is the first grandchild in her family. "She has such an infectious and happy personality and is so affectionate to those close to her," she said. "So, to see this happy baby get so moved by music is the most heartwarming thing, but not a big surprise considering our family is very into music." Three Signs Your Baby Might Be Sensitive While many TikTok commenters suggested that Eleanor might be experiencing "frisson," Dr. Kanchi Wijesekera, a clinical child psychologist and founder of Milika Center for Therapy & Resilience, offered Newsweek a different perspective. "The term 'frisson' isn't a clinical term," she said. "There is no evidence confirming that infants can experience frisson in the way adults do." Instead, Dr. Wijesekera believes that Eleanor's emotional response is likely tied to sensory processing and emotional recognition. "What's likely being observed is a combination of sensory processing and emotional recognition," she explained. She also pointed to Dr. Elaine Aron's research on highly sensitive children. Although Aron's studies focused on toddlers and older children, Dr. Wijesekera said that early emotional reactions to music could be an early indicator of emotional sensitivity in infants. She explained three signs that your baby might be more emotionally sensitive: Strong reactions to music or art: "If your baby calms or cries in response to music or expressive faces, it may reflect early emotional attunement. This is not the same as frisson, but it's a sign they're taking in the emotional tone of their environment." Heightened awareness of environment: "Babies who startle easily at loud sounds, track visual stimuli, or seem observant may be more sensitive to sensory and emotional cues." Emotional contagion: "If your baby mirrors your mood or becomes distressed when others are upset, it suggests early empathy, a skill for emotional intelligence." Dr. Wijesekera also suggests that parents and caregivers can support their baby's emotional sensitivity by creating gentle environments that respect the child's need for calm and soothing stimuli. While Eleanor might not be experiencing "frisson" in the scientific sense, her reaction is an adorable reminder that emotional sensitivity can emerge very early in life. Allie concluded, "It could be [frisson], or she could just be more sensitive to music than average, but we will keep an eye out for that as she grows up."

LeBron James jokes that Victor Wembanyama will hasten his retirement

On Saturday, a special episode of LeBron James' show "The Shop" was recorded at Fanatics Fest in New York City. Joining James before a live crowd was 21-year-old San Antonio Spurs superstar center Victor Wembanyama. At one point, James cracked a joke about Wembanyama's incredible shot-blocking abilities and the French native's 7-foot-3 frame. He said that Wembanyama swatting his shots will make him call it quits. 'I can't play that much further… As long as Wemby keeps smacking my [expletive] shots into the stands, it's gonna make me retire.' Wembanyama entered the NBA as the No. 1 pick in the 2023 draft, and he was the most hyped rookie to come into the league since James was a rookie during the 2003-04 season. He quickly lived up to the hype, and this season, he averaged 24.3 points, 11.0 rebounds and a league-high 3.8 blocks a game before a blood clot cut his year short after 46 games. The Spurs haven't made the playoffs since 2019, but with Wembanyama, star guard De'Aaron Fox and Rookie of the Year Stephon Castle, as well as the possibility of at least one big move this summer, they could very well become a powerhouse very soon. At the very least, Wembanyama is already a nightmare to play against because of his shot-blocking, and his offensive game is still fairly rudimentary at this point in his career.
