POMPEI CHAIR - Turning threads into moments of magic…
On the wall is the pattern… wow
The patience needed for embroidery is a passion of love.
Zooming in to see the finite detail is amazing.
The result of a collaboration between Jean-François Lesage and the designer
Victoire de Brantes during her 2023 residency at theInstitut Français in India as part of the Villa Swagatam programme,
the Pompéi chair re-imagines the furniture of Studio Bouroullec using the Belleville chair as a model.
Embroidered entirely at the workshops of Lesage Intérieurs, the seat is almost crystallised, like the Roman remains preserved by volcanic ash.
A chrysalis of monochrome ochre has settled over the random, embroidered decoration, which lives on beneath the solid mineral surface.
Amazing…
2024 I begin my 3rd Year…
I have absolutely loved and embraced this challenge, I feel incredibly grateful to have discovered 365 when I was learning...
