Ploum cui-cui !!

Si vous cherchez une lampe ou un abat-jour de saison, voici une collection très printanière. Vous trouvez chez Ploum une série de volières de tailles et de formats variés, toutes de fabrication française. Les cages sont composées de légers fils de cuivre et les petits oiseaux sont recouverts de plumes colorées qui créent des ombres fantastiques : un véritable spectacle qui m'avait inspiré la création du luminaire pour la chambre de Colette.

The cages are made of thin copper strings and the birds are covered with colorful feathers that create fantastic shadows: a spectacle that had inspired the creation of my light for Colette's room.

My lovebird

I like smart and functional design but when it comes to kid's stuff, poetry seems essential to me. Either the design or the colors and patterns have to make me smile, satisfy my eyes and beautify life. I've made that bucolic lampshade for my daughter's room. Colorful birds are swinging on a cage adorned with ribbons, bows and beads while the butterflies are wriggling with two vaporous Japanese fishes.

Afterward, I discovered Mathieu Challières' lamps in Ploum's window in Carouge, Geneva and loved it. But my true inspiration came from Tamar's lovely whimsical dream catchers that I discovered on Etsy a year ago. I also recently found that Tamar Mogendorff was creating something in that spirit as well and her birdcages are on sale at Little Home, Geneva. The printed paper I used is from Petit Pan, Paris.
