Each piece of the Short-Lived Love collection is a hybrid, a sort of sculpted creature made from the organic and baroque imagination of Sylvain Rieu-Piquet.
The surface of SLL Vessel 15 is almost bare other than pastel colours added, giving it a sense of calm. The blue is obtained by a porcelain tinted in the mass, and the enamel inside is applied in powder, which creates a kind of foam. Inclusions of glass in the earth brings a small more intense texture that can be felt to the touch.
Artist
Sylvain Rieu-Piquet
Sylvain Rieu-Piquet is a Paris-based designer whose work encapsulates the essence of natural elements, with mineral, vegetal, aquatic and animal worlds colliding to produce hybrid, intense and brooding works of art. With their soft, liquid curves and free, sensual vision of nature, Rieu-Piquet's collections of jewellery and ceramics invite viewers into an intimate dialogue with nature, emotion and the human body.
