AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Born in Arcachon. Between the Tchanquées huts and the Dune of Pilat, Louis seeks to illustrate the love of his region. In his workshop in Toulouse, Louis highlights the potential of the collected waste (oyster shells) and the experience gained during their discovery. Through this approach, the goal is to evoke emotions and sensations in the user through storytelling.

The mother-of-pearl, with its iridescent reflections and changing colors, hides many secrets. Behind its beauty lie unique characteristics that make each oyster shell exceptional.

An object of desire and admiration with its shimmering nacre, this amphora-like vase is a marine treasure embodying a true connection with nature.

Just handcrafted, this exceptional object is unique and in perfect condition. Each oyster shell has been hand-assembled directly onto the blown glass structure using chrome-finish, mirror-like hot-melt adhesive.
