Leather marquetry

“Galets” is a leather marquetry bottle-holder with an organic, mineral design. This line of “pebbles” offers the spectacle of a sculpture in motion.
Leather medallions revolve around a glass case. A mesh of transparent nylon thread links them together. The leather marquetry creates an organic, textured pattern. This technique is the meticulous result of cutting, assembling and gluing together different shards of leather.
The design is reminiscent of rolled pebbles, the ideal soil for vines. The colours echo the natural elements associated with grape growing: blue, yellow, green, grey / water, sky, sun, vine leaves, minerals and rock. Finally, the motifs recall the undulations of a hilly landscape or a drink to be savoured.
The object is part of a two-stage narrative.
First, the case is held by the handles: the medallions jiggle, as if levitating. The intricate weave ensures that the medallions are both strong and light.
Finally, the bottle-holder is placed on the table: the pebbles pile up randomly around the bottle, forming a sculpture that is always different.
