The whimsical curves on the Loïe suspension
To celebrate their 10th anniversary, the leading Parisian design studio MYDRIAZ unveils a capsule collection that combines oneiric elegance with a contemporary twist. With the introduction of the first new indulgence product range, MYDRIAZ is broadening its audience. The Loïe suspension is the first piece of this coveted collection made exclusively in MYDRIAZ’s workshop in Paris.
Striving to combine artistic and artisanal disciplines, this new series celebrates MYDRIAZ’s co-founders and designers, Jennifer Midoz and Malo du Bouëtiez.
The new Loïe suspension encompasses traditional metalwork with contemporary techniques. Its shape was inspired by the light and airy Serpentine dance movements pioneered by American artist Loïe Fuller. The shimmering of the delicate fabric and the floaty allure of the moving material on the dancer’s costumes is reimagined onto the brass structure of the light.
To create the whimsical curves on the Loïe suspension, the metal is continuously heated with a bright flame to allow it to be randomly sculpted until a perfect and unique supernova shape is achieved.
This technique has become typical of the studio’s collections. It was a process first used for the Mercure light, and after thorough research and development, it was extended and adapted to several other creations, allowing greater freedom in the design and conception phase.
Available in green and copper, the colour varnish has been chosen to harmonize and enhance the natural property of the underlying brass.
The Loïe suspension combines the design ethos and creative methods of MYDRIAZ, giving birth to an exceptional piece that radiates and brings warmth to a room.
The high-street collection will soon welcome new pieces, competing in innovation and ingenuity in the work and association of materials. They will be distributed across emblematic stores worldwide.
