Who We Are
What if design wasn’t just seen … but experienced?
Introducing Maison Vie, a new community for those drawn to interiors, architecture, garden design and the fine art of living, who want to see and experience these things for themselves.
Founded by R.J. Landin and Susan Morgan Maison Vie is built on the belief that great design is more than beautiful: it is a source of everyday inspiration and a catalyst for living with greater intention.
Through thoughtfully curated design symposiums, exclusive field trips, private house tours, hands-on workshops, and rare studio visits, Maison Vie invites you into the conversation, places and creative experiences that are seldom accessible to the public.
This is more than a series of events. It is a community of curious minds, passionate collectors, discerning travelers, and design enthusiasts who believe that the best way to understand great design is to experience it.
Be part of what we’re creating.
