ionna vautrin: forêt illuminée for super-ette

french designer ionna vautrin has created 'forêt illuminée' for super-ette editions featured in the emerging design editions
exhibition at ilivetomorrow with buymedesign in hong kong until the 30th of november, 2011.
the 40cm x 25cm x 50cm floor lamp was imagined as two cloud-like, interlaced minimalistic trees. a sewn-tyvek® exterior
envelops a diffused beam; the glowing structure upheld by two birch wood cylinders.

“two entwined trees, an imaginary animal, a cloud skimming the ground… forêt illuminée is a fairy-tale lamp,
the indolent evocation of undergrowth weighted down beneath white snow for an urban reader
lounging beside an imaginary fire." -super-ette editions

She is too influenced by other french designers im afraid. This looks very much like inge sempes lampe for mustache! And her other work is really too close to her former employers the bourroullec.

Sempe's lamp looks like a hot air balloon this looks like trees ie and therefore not the same

I like the fact that the completed object far exceeds the sketches - too often that is not the case as a design in realized
