Each maison and designer featured on The Invisible Collection is chosen for a distinct point of view, translated into pieces made almost entirely by hand, in limited numbers, for those who collect stories as much as objects.
La Vision, a candle holder from French Cliché, the nomadic gallery staging encounters between emerging designers and master French craftsmen, is a sculpture by the artist Laurent Pernot: a single eye, cast in stone and painted metal, levitating on a plinth like a fragment unearthed from a museum vitrine. Pernot drew on ancient philosophers’ theories of vision to imagine the piece, replacing the iris with a living flame that burns from within, so that the object appears to see by the very light it produces, a quietly unsettling meditation on sight and antiquity alike.
Founded in 2020 by Emily Marant and Hugo Matha, French Cliché is a label and a nomadic gallery. Within the past year, the duo has selected over 30 young artists and designers to think about French culture and produce exclusive designs inspired by it. Every piece is developed thanks to the collaboration between emerging talents and renowned craftsmen who symbolize French excellence. The artisans’ unique crafts provide new solutions and techniques to young creatives, who in turn bring their fresh vision to ancestral know-how.
