Incollect Magazine - Issue 4

2023 Incollect Magazine 33 Fairy Tale began as a piece for personal use, a fanciful aerial tree sprouting from the ceiling, made in cast and polished brass with brass droplets and amber resin cups. The process for Fairy Tale involves 17 different molds, the wiring is artfully concealed, and the work so delicate that Lanvin likens it to fine jewelry making. Both chandeliers are limited edition pieces and can be customized to dimensions and number of lights. What’s next for Lanvin? With no shortage of creativity, inspiration or enthusiasm, he rattled off a series of challenges: he has begun to explore the most elegant polished aluminum finishes and he’s working on designs for furniture that is made entirely of marble, “another thing,” he says laughingly, “we will break several times until we get it right.” With great-grand-mére Jeanne Lanvin as a role model, the possibilities are endless. Works by Jean-Yves Lanvin can be found on Incollect through Boccara Gallery, Portuondo and The Gallery at 200 LEX powered by Incollect. The Block series of monolithic forms is elevated by an elegant mirror-polished brass finish that casts reflections like dappled sunlight, transforming their imposing presence to golden, glowing luminescence. The Clochette (Little Bells) Chandelier, with softly glowing alabaster "bells".
