An ancient handcraft from Paris, a beautiful story about life and freedom.
In the 18th century, exotic birds were used as ceremonial ornaments for the distraction of the Court. Madame du Barry, mistress of Louis XV, possessed an aviary with particularly elaborate decoration. The king’s favorite was very upset by the death of her magnificent canary that escaped from its cage and broke its beak against the windowpane.
The french designer Mathieu Challières makes a range of enchanting lamps and chandeliers in their Parisian atelier. Each piece is individually made by hand, the styles ranges from the Baroque right through to Contemporary.
Paris-based lighting designer Mathieu Challieres has created a series of strange aviaries, beautiful, copper-wire lamps housing delicate birds of every color. These frozen menageries seem to await the fairy dust that will bring them to life and let them flutter free from their birdcage. Warming and delicate, the fantastic whimsy of these pieces lures us out of the safety of modernism into a brave new world where illusion is king and rooms are transformed by avian mirages. What a dream to be a bird.
