The exterior surfaces of this aluminium lamp are finely decorated with straw marquetry, with pink fuchsia leather on the interior. The inlay is quite sober in its overall monochromatic design. However, small orange and pink coloured inserts are reminiscent of pop art. When turned off, the lamp has quite a discreet presence that comes to life and warms up when lit.

The surface of this wooden coffee table has been decorated with an intricate monochromatic straw inlay in a style reminiscent of Art Deco. The brown marble effect plays with the viewers’ senses, creating an impression of volume, while three straw marquetry circles, cut in two by a central column, confuse one’s sense of perspective.

Valérie’s first exhibition was held in 2007 at Clos Lucé, Leonardo da Vinci’s last home. She drew inspiration for this mobile sculpture from his sketches and his prototype for a “helicopter”. The helicoid form plays with the notion of movement of the spiral, colour and volume.
