Maison Balzac Arrives At Ounass

Maison Balzac makes its debut on Ounass, bringing its poetic universe of glassware, fragrances, and sculptural home objects to the Middle East’s leading luxury e-commerce destination. Founded in Australia in 2012 by French-born Elise Pioch Balzac, the brand is rooted in a deeply personal narrative: an imaginative world shaped by memory, craftsmanship, and quiet emotional resonance. Elise began her career at Hermès in Paris under the artistic direction of Martin Margiela, before moving to Australia as a fashion buyer for multi-brand boutiques Belinda and The Corner Shop, a background that continues to inform the brand’s refined yet playful sensibility.

Maison Balzac’s collections translate everyday rituals into moments of beauty, from hand-blown glass vessels to delicately scented objects that blur the line between function and art. Each piece carries a sense of narrative intimacy, often referencing childhood memories, travels, and the tactile pleasure of living with thoughtfully designed objects.

The partnership with Ounass marks an important expansion for the brand across the region. “We are incredibly proud to join Ounass’ curated portfolio of premium brands, introducing Maison Balzac to their discerning clientele and further strengthening our brand presence across the Middle East,” says Jo Scahill, CEO of Maison Balzac. With this launch, Ounass continues to elevate its home offering, welcoming a brand that celebrates craftsmanship, storytelling, and timeless modernity.
