'The home has been for a few weeks and for many months to come, the ultimate refuge for all of us who are lucky enough to discover, create and furnish beautiful places. We wish to help at our modest scale by offering pieces that we love and by making sure 100% of proceeds go to the 3 charities to help hospitals and patients' explain Anna Zaoui and Isabelle Dubern-Mallevays, co-founders of The Invisible Collection.
They continued: 'Care workers are on the front line for all of us, they have been too often forgotten, they are the artisans of tomorrow's world. Each of us owes it to them to support them today, tomorrow, always. All the objects presented are favourites that we look forward to seeing in their new homes, for a great and important cause.'
