THE ART OF FLOWER AND LALIQUE
Corporate : The art of flowers and Lalique
The idea of a collaboration with Lalique was indeed an exciting one. The challenge was to break down the barrier between the purely ornamental and the functional. People with a less sophisticated eye might be easily convinced that an exquisite object such as a Lalique vase should be simply placed in a designated spot, kept away from the real functional world, and merely be admired for its own intrinsic charm alone. However, to be able to use such an object as it was intended, as a receptacle for other things of equal though natural beauty, gives an elevated sense of joy.
"The art of living is not about collecting objects, but how you communicate with them. Using them is one way of communication, an almost spiritual experience, as it mirrors your current state of mind and taste. And what better way to do this than flower arranging?”
The History of Lalique and its founder, Rene Lalique, was also an exciting one. Living through changing times, he successfully channelled the aesthetics of the art nouveau zeitgeist of the 1900s into mass produced glass art for an international clientele during the 1920s. Throughout his illustrious career, flowers have been a major and recurring theme of many of his designs.
The contrasts in shapes and sense of touch of these beautifully designed and crafted vases captivate me so much. In this collection of floral creations I have endeavoured to show this strong connection between the organic and the geometric, the solid and the opaque, and the masculine and the feminine. This is a collection of floral creations that truly celebrates nature and individuality at one and the same time.
商業合作 :鮮花與奢華水晶的藝術
這次,我們很榮幸有機會與Lalique合作,通過融合花藝作品的裝飾性與功能性,傳達出品牌的個性理念。
人們通常會認為,像Lalique花瓶這麼奢華精緻的裝飾品,就應該單純的擺著,展示它的美麗,不需要有什麼實際的功能。
然而,不管它本身是如何的美麗,花瓶的本質功用依舊是用來插花。
生活的藝術不在於收集美麗的物件,而在於把它們帶進真實的生活中,作為心靈體驗的一種方式,反映出自己心情和品位。那麼,還有什麼比插花更好的辦法來體現一個花瓶的美呢?
Lalique和他的始創人Rene Lalique都是個傳奇。在時代的變遷中,他從1920年代開始就成功的把20世紀的新藝術時代精神轉化為國際化工業生產的玻璃藝術。而在他輝煌的事業中,花卉一直是最重要,最經常出現的設計主題。
Lalique這些設計美麗,做工精湛的花瓶,從形態到觸感都讓我深深著迷,在這次的花藝創作中,我精心表現出自然和幾何、實和虛、剛和柔的對比與關聯,將整個大自然與單項個體融合演繹。
