From Paris to Your Walls: The Professional Origin of Haus of Collectors
Most print studios begin with a printer and a catalog. Haus of Collectors began differently. It began with an agency, a roster of artists, and years of working inside the professional art world before a single art print was ever sold online, ultimately allowing you to discover art style collections for interiors today.
That distinction matters. It shapes everything about what this studio is, the unique works it sells, and why the collecting experience here feels unlike anything else in the market for fine art prints. This is the story of how an agency’s creative vision became a global gateway for the next generation of collectors.
The Foundation: Mansion of Art
Before the Haus of Collectors existed, there was the Mansion of Art. Mansion of Art is not a standard gallery or a mass-market shop; it is a boutique cultural agency operating at the intersection of art, luxury, and brand identity. Based in Paris and Deauville, the agency connects artists with organizations, collectors, and spaces that take art seriously.
Its work spans private art advisory, cultural programming for luxury hospitality, and brand activations. The agency accepts a deliberately limited number of collaborations each year. This is not a business constraint—it is a curatorial position. In the art world, deep, long-term relationships produce better work and more significant cultural outcomes than volume ever could. This professional studio environment provided the design and the discipline that would eventually define our print house.
The Question That Started a Movement
When you spend years inside the professional art world, you see something clearly that is invisible from the outside: access is the ultimate currency. The quality and the relationships with artists whose work is culturally significant right now often sit behind doors that most people are never invited to open.
These doors are not locked because the art is too precious; they are closed because the traditional structures of the art world, private galleries, and invitation-only events were never designed for broad access.
Our founders, Sarah Zavala, Ashley Mobley, and Toni De La Torre, each brought expertise in curation and luxury art experiences from the Mansion of Art environment. Their question was simple: Why should access to museum-quality work be limited to the clients of a private agency in Paris? Haus of Collectors was the answer. Launched in 2025, it was designed as a digital-first studio to bring the curatorial standards of a professional agency directly to your space.
What "Built from the Art World" Means in Practice
The difference between Haus of Collectors and a standard marketplace is not a marketing claim; it is structural.
Curated, Not Aggregated
The artists available through our studio are not sourced by an algorithm. They come from the professional representation built by the Mansion of Art over the years. This means the curatorial judgment behind every art piece is the same one applied by professionals in the international art market every day, whether you want to browse black and white wall art prints or explore colorful, expressive works. We don't just list prints; we select them.
The Archival Standard
Every print, regardless of edition, is produced on museum-grade archival paper using pigment-based inks. This is the base standard, ensuring color accuracy that holds over decades. Whether it is a drawing, a conceptual piece, or an abstract work, the print paper will not yellow or degrade. This is the same quality of materials used in institutional printing.
The Batch Production Model
Unlike "on-demand" shops that prioritize speed, we produce prints in coordinated batches on the 15th and 30th of each month. This allows for rigorous quality control. It is slower than a mass-market product model, but that is the point. Fine art requires an intentional pace.
Three Edition Types: A Tiered Approach to Collecting
We have designed our editions to meet every friend and collector at their specific stage of the journey, without ever sacrificing the artist's vision.
Open Editions: These are premium fine art prints with no fixed production limit. They are the perfect starting point for those looking to style a new space or office with high-end work.
Limited Editions: Hand-signed and numbered in fixed quantities. For the collector, the edition number (e.g., 5 of 50) is a real statement of scarcity and value. Once sold out, they are never reproduced in that size.
Hand-Embellished Editions: Our most exclusive product. Each piece is individually enhanced by the artist using pencil, charcoal, or paint. No two are exactly alike. It is the closest experience to owning an original artwork.
The Psychology of the Collector
We did not build this studio for those seeking a cheap mug or a mass-produced poster. We built it for the person who sees their home as a reflection of their identity. We built it for the creative friend who wants to start a list of meaningful acquisitions, and for the interior designer who needs a lovely and reliable source of gallery-quality work, such as exquisite modern classic artwork for home decor.
When you receive a box from Haus of Collectors, the unboxing is a special moment. You aren't just opening a package; you are welcoming a piece of Paris and a piece of contemporary art history into your home.
From the Streets of Paris to Your Walls
The title of this story is a literal description of our workflow. The relationships built in Deauville and the artist development done in Paris feed directly into the art print that ends up on your wall.
When you collect through Haus of Collectors, you are accessing a world that has historically been out of reach. You are choosing a creative path that values intention over impulse. Whether it is your favorite art piece or the first print in your new studio, it carries the weight of a professional legacy.
