With a silhouette that is as pure as it can be, and a perfection that nothing disturbs, the six objects in the Pilotis collection by Puiforcat are all about rigor. With the flame of the candles that oscillates, with the wax that heats up, these three candlesticks and three candelabras combine sterling silver in its most strict geometries.
The collection, designed for Puiforcat by British designers Edward Barber and Jay Osgerby, is a strong call to architecture. More than that, it is the modernist movement that both artists were inspired by. Villa Savoye in particular, perched on thin stilts. As for the art of Jean Puiforcat, the designer-silversmith who gave the house its Art Deco identity, it also resonates in the imagination of Edward and Jay, through a same refined vision of the arts de la table.
