Dixie is a floor lamp by Léa Mestres that features a rough, textured cement surface painted to create a gradient colour effect of yellow and white in a vertical striped pattern. Mestres first sculpts the piece by carving into foam, then covers it in her own plaster recipe. Adding to the artist’s Craving for Crépi collection, the weighty, organic shape of this work reflects Mestres’ unique approach to design, which celebrates the beauty of imperfection and the freedom of imagination.
Artist
Léa Mestres
Léa Mestres is an experimental French artist who seeks to counter a design world that she sees as too serious and too male-dominated. She uses play, humour and whimsy as aesthetic devices to create colourful, anthropomorphic, larger-than-life sculptures that act as windows into the artist’s vivid imagination.
