Li-Chin Loos: Beautiful planets

A collection of sculpture vases, each one of which suggests a different planet of The Universe.

The series plays with the mix of materials (wood, cardbox, leather and glass) and with the contrast between the rugged and the finished surfaces, in order to reach a new esthetics. Each piece is an unique eco-design creation, each one being different from all the others through choice of materials, particular veins in the wood, and above all the result of what material left overs are available at a given moment. Each planet is hand made and born out of the designer's work. The "mother earth – la terre est notre mère" motto serves as a reminder of our collective duty of care to our Planet. It's also Beatrix Li-Chin Loos' leitmotiv and the source of her ecogical inspiration.

Materials: Off-cuts of wood (elm, chipboard or medium), recycled card box, blown glass tube, recycled leather strap
Dimensions: diameter 15, 18, 21 and 28 cm

Exclusive distribution in France by Galerie Gosserez, Paris.
