Context

Leaving the functional completely behind, this objects are dedicated to the harmonic combination of form, selected materials and the skills of the craft. Les belles is a collection of 3 objects and originated in the desire to create an object that lives especially through its form of expression.

Unwittingly one asks oneself what these objects could be:
an umbrella, a kind of walking stick or perhaps a huge bird?
Les belles leaves this question open and capitalises on the effect of form and the imagination of the observer.
