Belle de Jour, Lighting Sconce in white Linen, black Metal, YMER&MALTA, France

About the Item

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 1950s Akari series. “Belle de Jour” is part of the Akari Unfolded collection created by the YMER&MALTA Studio for The Noguchi Museum to pay homage to the iconic Akari series by Isamu Noguchi. This collection was exhibited in 2018/2019 at The Noguchi Museum in New York. “Belle de Jour” is in a numbered edition and each piece has a "Certificate of Authenticity'.
