Petite Friture End table Black/Mirror Metal/Glass. Dimensions: Ø 40 x H
45 cm. The Francis mirror table was born from the crossing of totemic forms
with the iconic Francis wall mirror created by Constance Guisset in 2012
(awarded the Wallpaper Design Award). The Francis table offers a new look at the
Francis mirror: placed horizontally, it reverses the logic of reflection and
adds a surprising and poetic touch to your interior design. The Francis table
was born from an experiment on pigments. The mirror top is subtly coloured with
watercolour patterns evoking the fleeting vision of colours flowing from the
brush in contact with water. The result is a strange illusion reminiscent of the
oxidation of old mirrors, reviewed in a light interpretation tinged with
modernity. The watercolours are printed in the bottom of the mirror using a
lamination technique that gives the product incredible visual depth. French
designer Constance Guisset has hand-painted the watercolours by playing around
with two series of shades. The watercolours were then digitally worked to
amplify the play of colour transparency, strengthen or soften the movement of
pigments and thus give rise to unique watercolour patterns. Then, the
watercolours printed on the mirror were captured in a glass lamination bringing
depth to the eye and strength to these functional tables. In order to bring
power and balance to the Francis table, the mirror anchored within the coloured
vapours of the watercolours is inserted in a large, solid metal shell. The
Francis coffee table comes in 3 sizes that can dress your living room
separately or together. Their different heights mean you can create an interplay
between them in a harmonious whole. Constance Guisset: I set out to create
light, animated objects whose elegant fluidity gives rise to astonishment and
escape through dreams. French designer Constance Guisset has won numerous awards
such as the Grand Prix du Design from the City of Paris in 2008, the Public
Design Award at the Villa Noailles Design Parade in 2009, the Designer of the
Year Award at Salon Maison et Objet and the Audi Talents Awards in 2010.
