重生
BIPOLAIRE, Suspended Luminaire
2013
BIPOLAIRE系列是对玻璃器皿和水晶制品工业之美与折衷主义的赞美。每个产品都由捐助的或从当地社区经营的二手商店买来的玻璃制品制成。产品组成部分只经过了很少的改造，甚至完全不加改造，然后由一种强效的永久性玻璃胶粘剂粘合。每个物品都是在魁北克蒙特利尔手工精心制作的。BIPOLAIRE系列是废弃、过时和受损物品的重生。
The BIPOLAIRE Collection is a tribute to the beauty and the eclecticism of the glassware and crystal ware industry. Each product is made from glass items from donations or local community run second-hand shops. Components are very little or not transformed, and assembled with a strong and permanent glass bounding adhesive. Each object is carefully handmade in Montreal, Quebec. BIPOLAIRE represents the rebirth of the rejected, the out of style, the damaged, by smart interventions.
