Self-taught and born in Geneva in 1943, Michel L.Y. Tornare transforms forgotten pieces of wood into true works of art. Inspired by his love of nature and keen sense of observation, he collects roots and pieces of wood during his walks in the mountains, forests, and along rivers. Thanks to his talent, these torn structures are given a new life, filled with color, light, and hope, symbolizing the ability to overcome time and hardship. A heir to his family's artistic spirit—his great-grandfather was a pioneer of pointillism, and his brother is a renowned watercolorist—Michel goes even further: he breathes life into each creation, turning the ephemeral into immortality. This piece is attributed to the mentioned designer/maker. It has no attribution mark and no
official proof of authenticity,
however it is well documented in design history. I take full responsibility for any authenticity
issues arising from misattribution
