Created in cooperation with designer Vincent Darré, insects are funny and original sculptures. They come from the meeting between Vincent Darré’s dadaist world and Ludovic Clément d'Armont’ poetic world. The caterpillar is articulated and lights. It climbs your cushions and bends into your space. The spider moves around: on the floor, or against the ceiling. The dragonfly swings gently; it is alive. Vincent Darré’s work is notorious for its eccentricity, which the interior designer describes as midway between Jean Cocteau and Cecil Beaton. His designs blend baroque with surrealism, in which Darré always inserts a certain playfulness and humor. Beginning his career in fashion, working for the likes of Karl Lagerfeld at Fendi, Moschino, and Ungaro, he launched his label Maison Darré in the early 2000s from a Parisian apartment, which doubled as an office and a showroom. His first collection Ossobucco, which featured furniture made of bones and vertebrae structures, established his quirky decorative style. Today, Darré, affectionately known as the enfant terrible of Paris’s design world, counts fashion houses Schiaparelli and Christian Louboutin as clients, and he’s recently released an art book with Rizzoli to compile most vibrant design exploits.
