Serax

Serax Flower-pot holder Beige Paper. Dimensions: Ø 50 x H 47 cm. Belgian artist Marie Michielssen's immoderate love of paper and her desire to recycle materials led her to create a series of papier-mâché objects. The slightly irregular lines and rough edges of the material are deliberately visible, conveying a sense of craftsmanship and highlighting the raw aesthetics of this creation. Marie Michielssen has a predilection for materials she can shape by hand. She lets her intuition guide her, giving shape to objects with an atypical, poetic allure. With the Earth collection, I feel that my formal language is getting closer and closer to sculpture, explains Michielssen. The designer never starts by putting her ideas down on paper. No technical drawings or 3D computer models: she prefers to let the material express itself during the creative process by modeling it by hand. When modeling, I often play with primary shapes like a cone, a ball or a square. I bring them together to create new shapes. Each design is preceded by an in-depth study of the shapes, and everything happens very intuitively. The Construct collection of Flower-pot holders focuses on proportions. ''I cut cones and cylinders into pieces and reassemble them in unexpected ways, creating fascinating new shapes with a certain harmony. '' ATTENTION. Construct Flower-pot holders are for indoor use only. They have no opening at the bottom for water drainage. It is recommended not to plant directly in the pot, but to place the plant in a plastic pot with a Saucer, or to use a plastic bag inside.
