Large Travertine 'Ray' Bowl By Collection Particulière

About the Item

'Ray' bowl wide (largest size available) by renown French designer Grégoire de Lafforest (who designed for Hermès amongst others) is already an iconic design. With it's captivating shape Grégoire reimagines the classic fruit bowl and has taken an obvious everyday object into a work of art. It's geometric columns and the striking material make this design into elemental piece. The artisan made bowl is cut from solid Roman travertine, one of the most ancient marble used since the Roman Empire, the unique porous character of the material highlights the handcrafted process and captures a rustic luxurious appearance. Designed for the exclusive French brand Collection Particulière. About the brand Collection Particulière: Because the true heart of Collection Particuliere, the reason why it exists is the great love of objects: objects to store, expose, sit or just set up. A collection born with the urge to give back its letters patent to pieces that sometimes became generic or outmoded through the times, such as a fruit bowl, a tidy, a stool or a candle holder. Daily life objects, but a life where every single piece of furniture and every day object are considered to be a sculpture, a piece with a true statement, sometimes impressive... A piece that does not immediately show its true nature. Most of the pieces composing Collection Particuliere meant many technical challenges : manufacturing process, shaping or assembling. Of course, this complexity has never been an aim, but it might testify of a wish to drive the material into a corner, to literally face it and sculpt it. The range of materials is pretty short and was obvious since the very beginning : wood, marble, leather, brass and ceramic. Noble materials indeed, but, above all, material chosen because of their character and, mainly, their ability to age with elegance and with a subtle patina. No temptation to unerringly follow the trend of the moment, but a true will not to choose between the radicality of industrial design, allegiance to fine arts and, here and there, a soft wink to gymnastics apparatus. What really matters here is the idea of motion : the stroke of the designer's pen, the stroke of the maker's hand and, ultimately, the way its owner will hold the piece and use it to make it his.
