The French artist and designer known for his riveting designs joins The Invisible Collection. Discover a selection of his work made of the most unexpected materials.
Most people from all over the world have probably admired Pierre Bonnefille’s work without even knowing it while making a stop at the Parisian Café Marly – at the Louvre. The venue’s unmissable large murals were his first major public commission in the mid-nineties. Since then, Bonnefille has graced the interiors of many private homes and luxury boutiques with his incredibly original style.
His murals and finishes are sought after by many, including Christian Liaigre, the RDAI agency for the Hermès boutiques worldwide, and Bruno Moinard for Cartier. Besides his unsurpassed talent for colour – he can truly invent never-seen-before hues – Bonnefille designs furniture: small, limited editions of pieces at the junction between art and design.
His main inspiration is nature, and the mineral world. Limestone, lava, marble powders, bronze, and even some rare rock fragments from ancient African copper mines, are worked and mixed into surprising new textures. The geometric, monolith-like shapes lend the pieces an utterly sculptural quality and a timeless feel.
We handpicked some emblematic designs from the Metamorphosis series that conjure the geometries ad textures created by the natural phenomena of crystallisation and mineralization. Like meteorites that landed on the floor of one’s home, they radiate a powerful energy.
The selection comprises three tables, one sideboard, cabinet, and two stools created as artworks that are as beautiful as they are functional. Each piece has a story, told through the materials it is made of, a story that traces back to the origin of matter…
