Description
Chanet is an abstract white ornament: a hollow, open form pierced all over with rounded openings of different sizes, rising to a single loop at the top. It looks different from every side, as the openings overlap and frame one another while you move around it. It is made from a blend of 55% polyresin and 45% wollastonite and measures 17.5cm long, 13.5cm wide and 22.5cm tall, so it holds its own on a shelf or mantelpiece without crowding it.
We would put it where daylight can pass through it: a window sill, a mantelpiece, a console table in the hall or a bookcase shelf with a little space around it. Light falling through the openings throws soft shapes onto the wall behind it, and they shift through the day. In white, it sits quietly in a pale, neutral room and gives a darker shelf a bright point. It suits anyone drawn to abstract, organic forms, and it makes a thoughtful housewarming gift, since it is complete as it is and needs nothing added.
Polyresin is a resin that can be moulded into fluid curves and keeps a smooth, even surface, and wollastonite is a naturally occurring white mineral, which makes up 45% of the blend. The rims of each opening are rounded and softened rather than sharp. At 0.6KG it is light enough to lift with one hand when you dust or rearrange a shelf, and the loop at the top gives a natural place to hold it. For styling, pair it with a short stack of books or a plain vase, and leave clear space on either side so the outline and the openings can be seen properly.
