Pendant light - 2 unique pieces made with upcycled leather for the Parisian gallery ‘Galerie SCENE OUVERTE’. 2023

The light reminds a saddle or leather skins stored on easels at the tannery. It highlights leather potentials and minimizes wastes, the skin sides of the animal always thrown out by the leather industry. The leather is at the same time molded, perforated, then suspended with no addition. It is both structuring and visual filter, as a supple and vibrating lampshade. Perforations play on our perception of the material, from a distance we could see a thin sheet of metal, up close the sensuality of the leather appears, then vibrates with the pattern as an optical screen.
