Aubusson Tapestry : The Great Lady Collection
YMER&MALTA / Benjamin Graindorge
2018
« (…)A timeless, brilliant bench features a cover as if seen from above, like a hand drawn by Le Corbusier, a hand holding up a subtle, textured landscape of dark colors, fire and shadows, as the warmth of the wool contrasts beautifully with the quiet, round shapes of the base. The tapestry lands like a comfy cashmere shawl on the back of an armchair, rearranging the motif with curves and counter-curves.. (…) »
Bruno Ythier, Chief Curator at the Cité Internationale de la Tapisserie d’Aubusson
The initial inspiration for this piece was a camp. We wanted to create an installation, a small, welcoming world to get lost in, like a mountain landscape.
This piece was treated like a piece of haute-couture fashion with a pattern designed for the tapestry to fall perfectly on the bench.
« VueDuCiel celebrates the art of unstructured weaving. In order to provide even more contrast, the weaver used a number of different materials such as wool, silk, natural viscose, royal linen, cotton… The weaving is irregular and varies from one zone to another on the piece. »
Patrick Guillot, Weaver
This piece was presented at the Musée des Arts Décoratifs de Paris during Valérie Maltaverne’s Chevalier des Arts et des Lettres Award ceremony.
