Dialoguer avec le passé
Pour célébrer les 120 ans de la Maison Delisle, j’ai été invité à explorer les archives historiques de la société pour en extraire quelques «pépites».
While searching among the cast iron models of the many creations published over the generations by Delisle, I discovered elements of lighting or furniture of the style which I repurposed to integrate them into my creation.
Ainsi est née la « Coupe aux Tortues » qui rend un hommage aux fables de la Fontaine : deux tortues de bronze doré marchent en sens contraire, portant sur leur carapace une coupe de marbre blanc effilée sculptée comme une pirogue.
Impression d’immobilité tranquille et de luxueuse intemporalité.
Les tortues proviennent d’un modèle de chenets Louis XIV…
Recycling chic !
Continuing the bronze tradition
The Delisle company is a family business of art bronzers that was founded in 1895, in the heart of the Marais district in Paris.
Today, Jean Delisle embodies the fifth generation of this "Living Heritage Company", a member of the Colbert Committee.
The Delisle company has illustrated all the major trends in Decorative Arts and Nicolas Aubagnac entered its collections in 2003.
At the same time, the Delisle company is helping to restore the splendor of French heritage treasures: Versailles, the Place de la Concorde, the Palais Royal…
Through his various collections for the Delisle company, Nicolas Aubagnac continues this uninterrupted dialogue between the tradition of bronze and light…
