Galet, Lamp in Resin and Sand, XS, YMER&MALTA, France

Galet is a set of 5 lamps composing a light sculpture. Organic shapes that found their balance point, these light rocks are meticulously designed. The Galet lamps are crafted with a unique roto-molding combined with layering technique developed by the YMER&MALTA Studio. To achieve the perfect texture and a seamless volume, each piece is individually made in an extensive process of layering sand...

A sculpture by day and a light sculpture by night, “Belle de Nuit” combines the delicacy of the thin metal bars and bisque volumes with the practical and modern lighting technology of a battery powered lamp. The choice of materials was crucial to achieve the soft and natural candle light effect with a source in LED. The texture of the ceramic gives to each lamp its singularity. The “Belle de Nuit” finds its origins in the prototyping process of the “Belle de Jour” lamps...

The Tenellus lamp contrasts the fragility of paper and the sheerness of an industrial mesh, with the precision, simplicity and weight of a simple metallic tube. The resulting piece provides a delicate, honeycomb light...

Pairing a strong shape with a fragile material, Poise is a clean, modern origami. The machined stainless steel structure of the Table Lamp compliments the graphic shape of the paper volume. As with the Akari Series from the 1950s, the required assembly of the paper is part of the experience of this lamp, a tactical engagement fostering a deeper connection with the piece. As Valérie Maltaverne was studying Isamu Noguchi’s work to develop the Akari Unfolded collection, she was captivated by one sculpture in particular where the artist had assembled several small objects found on the beach in a suspended...

A combination of an innovative material and an intelligent assembly, “Belle de Jour” achieves the perfect balance between a soft translucency and mechanical performance. As with every piece from YMER&MALTA, the design process of “Belle de Jour” starts with an intention, an emotion. On a trip to Bonifacio, Corsica Valérie saw a cliff that sparked her imagination. The image of this cliff, with its multiple stratum of rock, was the genesis for Valérie and Océane to develop the design for this piece, which emerged from a long process of prototyping. The resin and linen composite material of the sheets was developed in the studio. Valérie Maltaverne chose to work with linen as a French reference for the bamboo used in the washi paper of the 50’s Akari series...

Georges Pelletier (1938) is a great contemporary artist exploring the fields of ceramics and lighting, since the 1950s. Born in Brusels in 1938. At the tender age of 12 he enrolls in the École du Pioulier, founded by Célestin Freinet and located in Vence in the South of France. Here he learns free and modern art and discovers drawing and ceramics. During this period Pelletier starts showing solidarity and relief based on the principle of equality.

He enrolls the school of Métiers d’Art in 1955. Pelletier deepens into the world of ceramics during his time at Claude Pantzer’s workshop and the Potiers d’Accolay where he meets Raphael Giarusso...
