Garance Vallée for Monoprix. Chrome-plated metal and glass vase

GARANCE VALLEE (1993-). Monoprix Collaboration. Chrome-plated metal and glass vase. Materials: polished steel, glass, wooden base. Dimensions: H 45 X D 22cm. For Monoprix, the creative designer reinterprets the striking atmosphere of her studio to deliver a series of “domestic sculptures.” Blending utility with art, form with materiality, bold colors with monochrome, Garance Vallée brings all her affection for late 19th-century design, with a twist of 90s minimalism, to bear on metal candlesticks, chrome vases, tattooed tableware, and mirrors pulsating with a captivating charisma. It’s beautiful, it’s sculpted, and fiercely useful. To tide you over until April 23, here’s a sneak peek in pictures.
