BEAUSOLEIL: Lison de Caunes and Glenn Sestig for The Invisible Collection
Inspired by the beauty and softness of the sun’s reflections, this collection of tables and seating harmoniously blends the minimalist style of celebrated architect Glenn Sestig with the exceptional craftsmanship of the Ateliers Lison de Caunes.
“Beausoleil” is composed of two side tables, a coffee table, and four stools distinguished by their clean lines and plays of subtle and refined colours. The name perfectly embodies the essence of these creations, eloquently evoking the shimmering patterns of straw arranged like rays of sunlight, capturing and reflecting the light to create a unique and resolutely contemporary aesthetic. Rye straw, tinged in soft, warm shades ranging from grey to burgundy to brown, is complimented by the clean, graphic shapes of the furniture. This striking contrast reinforces the elegance of each piece, whether used in combination or independently.
