Andreea Braescu: luminous aerial sculptures in porcelain

The new generation of designers features a hotbed of talents. It is blossoming everywhere, with as heritage an increased sensitivity for surrounding nature.

Unique, each luminary is thus created from phosphated porcelain, a fine particularly translucid ceramic, both long lasting and delicate, which has become her signature trademark.

Shapes are often inspired by the perennial Gingko Biloba tree, and lamps take over the space to spread out with lightness and poetry. This up-and-coming artist thus succeeds the wager of transforming her installations into works of art, one immediately wishes to adopt…
