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 basin of the SLL Vessel 9 opens onto an interior covered with Egyptian paste, a very special ceramic that enamels itself at low temperatures. During antiquity, it was used to make jewellery. Particularly unstable, it is never used on such a large surface. Its intense turquoise colour calls to the Mediterranean imagination.
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.
