Tout en légèreté

The creation of a delicate and refined universe, where shapes and materials intertwine, along with transparencies and colors that capture the essence of light, color, and the sensuality unique to summer.

It highlights the mastery of ancestral know-how that artisans have reappropriated to create contemporary pieces through a long and delicate creative process: porcelain pieces decorated by hand using the zōgan technique or painted with slip; delicate jewelry made from natural silk cocoons or lampworked glass; a colorful collection of blown glass, screen-printed and curled papers creating optical illusions; creations enhanced with feathers; others derived from knotting techniques pushed to the extreme; and very airy sculptures or artworks whose lines follow the curves of wire and glass.

In this exhibition, craftsmanship comes to life in a movement of lightness, fluidity, and luminosity, capturing the very essence of summer through the unique creations of Daphné BINCKLI – BULLE DE VERRE, Morgane BINET, Béatrice BOST - LE MOUËL - PLUMAVERA, Kanaé BRIANDET, Elsa DINERSTEIN, FLUÏD, Muriel KERBA, Michael MAIO, Laurentine PÉRILHOU and Gaëlle PINARD – ATELIER VOLUBILE.

Cabinetmaker from Nantes

Morgane completed her cabinetmaking training at the École Boulle in 2019/2020 and then set up her workshop, Atelier 67. She creates furniture and decorative objects with clean lines and a contemporary design. Some of her pieces feature vibrant colors through lacquering, marquetry, or inlays, contrasting with the natural tones of the wood. Particularly drawn to veneer work, she focuses her research on the "living" characteristics of this material, which, neither constrained nor fixed, expresses itself freely with humidity variations. This results in an artistic and uninhibited vision of a traditional skill known for its great finesse.

Parisian Feather Artist

Trained in decorative arts, this nature lover brings her passion to life in her workshop, Plumavera, where feathers become a medium of expression. More than just adornment, Béatrice reveals the secrets of the living, testifying to the magic and essence of birds. Goose, pheasant, woodcock, rooster... Each feather holds a language that she crafts with meticulousness and passion.

Mastering the ancient techniques of feather work, she reinvents them to create contemporary pieces: lighting fixtures, wall decor, feather marquetry on furniture, mirrors, and art objects. Feathers converse with wood, metal, and glass, elevating each material and playing with light to offer a new dimension to design. She collaborates with the biggest names in luxury and design.

Parisian Jewelry Designer and Textile Sculptor

After completing a fashion design and pattern-making program at BUNKA Fashion College in Tokyo, Kanaé continued her training in jewelry at the Haute École de Joaillerie - BJO in Paris.

She discovered silk cocoons in 2015 and was captivated by them. Deeply inspired by nature, she specializes in creating jewelry and sculptures.

She designs and handcrafts her pieces in her workshop, blending hand embroidery, Kumihimo braiding, settings of semi-precious stones, and glass beads with natural silk cocoons of the highest quality, sourced from the TOMIOKA silk mill in Japan, which is listed as a UNESCO World Heritage site. She reinterprets traditional techniques and ancestral know-how, such as Kumihimo (ancient Japanese braiding), to create unique, ethnic, and poetic pieces made from natural, colorful, luminous, and contemporary materials.

Ceramist from Eure-et-Loir

A graduate in Ceramic Design from ENSAMA, Elsa creates contemporary ceramics rooted in traditional craftsmanship. She upholds the high standards of artisanal professions. In her research, she repurposes traditional techniques, blends materials, and guides processes to open new creative fields, aesthetic paths, and original ideas. In her pictorial work on clay, energy, colors, and transparencies juxtapose, support, and contradict each other with subtlety. She conceives the object as a sculpture, its use as an experience, and its surface as a landscape. The spontaneity made possible by mastering the craft gives birth to works with multiple levels of encounters.

Within the Ateliers Saint-Cyr, she designs and crafts art objects and functional collections in stoneware and porcelain. She also responds to collaboration requests and professional inquiries.

"Paper Artist" from Paris

Muriel Kerba is a screen-printing artist and a master of paper who bridges the gap between artistic craftsmanship and contemporary art. Her work is a dialogue with paper, contrasting flexibility and rigidity. She invents a visual language that is colorful and graphic, characterized by layering, repetition, and transparency. Her inspiration comes from nature, whether infinitely small or vast, with its fragilities, metamorphoses, and quest for light.

Vosges Ceramist

Michaël's work takes shape around two main axes. First, the desire to connect popular culture and Japanese culture, as these two sources of inspiration are close to him. Second, the use of traditional techniques to achieve a more modern result.

He offers a production of porcelain hand-decorated using the zōgan technique, which involves incising the surface of the piece and then inserting colored porcelain into the lines to create a design. He develops his patterns in a clean style that balances graphic structures and figurative representations, using three colors.

His current production focuses on containers (primarily vases), wall decorations, and is complemented by more exceptional pieces such as handmade porcelain blades.

Macramé Specialist from Ariège

Laurentine's learning process was empirical, acquired from a Chilean artisan during a trip to South America in 2009. She embraced this manual textile art, based on a series of knots and largely unknown in its diverse forms, and integrated it into her own artistic universe. Since 2021, alongside custom orders, she has developed a personal artistic approach in which the vegetal theme plays a central role. This craftsmanship becomes the medium through which ideas take shape. The notion of gesture and the act of making are intimately connected to time and precision.

Traditional knotting techniques are entirely reimagined to push this textile craft even further, resulting in sophisticated and contemporary creations. The technique can be hybridized with materials such as metal, glass, clay, and wicker.

Steel Sculpture & Wire Art

Initially trained in glass art and stained glass, Gaëlle opened her studio-shop where she created metal and glass mobiles. Following a training in metalwork, her mobiles evolved into large-scale sculptural expressions. Alongside this sculptural work, she creates small wire art pieces where the wire becomes a pencil line. This work, akin to an archaeology of the intimate, continually informs her larger creations and echoes her years of studying Archaeology. She retains a love for drawing, the precision of lines, and the elegance of simplicity.
